Friday, 5 May 2017 - 9.00am

9am-5pm, Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, 10 West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DZ

Teaching deals in the classroom has been a popular innovation in US law schools and has been introduced to the UK by way of Cambridge’s Masters in Corporate Law (MCL) and Oxford’s Masters of Law and Finance (MLF) courses. The conference explores this innovative feature of legal education. Topics to be considered will include a comparison of approaches taken with the teaching of deals, possible improvements to the courses on offer, and the potential for expansion of the concept to other law departments in the UK and elsewhere.

A distinguished cohort of academics will offer their views in a conference which has been organized so as to facilitate speaker/audience interaction. There will be formal presentations by distinguished academics and a roundtable led by practitioners closely involved with the MCL and its Deals course and by MCL alumni.
