"Thank you for putting this program together! As a newly arrived associate, I found it very helpful for getting a bigger picture view of how things work in the deals I’m on."

Rebecca Green, Associate at Cleary Gottlieb

"I really think the software is great. I can see it being valuable no matter who you are, but especially if you weren’t fortunate enough to have transactional offerings in law school. As I went through the segments, I kept coming across items I remember mid-level associates explaining as background. This software makes sure that not only are those lessons learned, but they are learned in a more efficient way. I would highly recommend this as a part of any law firm intake and orientation. It would definitely raise the knowledge-base for most incoming classes.

I really liked the small segment structure of the program. It really made the pieces digestible as opposed to something you have to do in one sitting. I had anticipated that it would be non-stop, so I was pleasantly surprised. It never felt like I was bogged down in a particular lesson."

Renard Miller, Mid-Level Associate at Latham & Watkins LLP

"Contract Fundamentals is a very good teaching presentation of the different parts of a typical contract. These modules are an excellent resource for a contract drafting course and for training first-year associates. I think it is assumed that a lawyer with a few years experience will already know this stuff (though, a refresher never hurts). While the last module specifically addresses a business acquisition agreement and the example primarily used throughout the modules is a supply agreement, much of the substance is applicable to any business contract."

Norman Alpert, Counsel at Friedman Kaplan Seiler & Adelman LLP

"I really enjoyed the course and found it very helpful!"

Derek S., "Am Law 100" Law Firm First-Year Associate

"I appreciated this course, given that it has been over a year and a half since I took 1L Contracts. This course is especially important for those that have not dealt with actual contracts and agreements before (i.e. only litigation experience). This anatomy of a contract was incredibly helpful."

Kevin A., "Am Law 100" Law Firm Summer Associate

"Overall I liked the course a lot, just would have appreciated it more 6 months ago."

Lindsey L., "Am Law 100" Law Firm First-Year Associate

"I'm really satisfied with this course."
