Abstract

Students can gain experience in practical skills in substantive courses if professors spend the time to create appropriate projects. This article demonstrates by providing reproducible projects involving non-competition agreements, trademarks/trade dress, copyright, and patent. The article also explains the how projects can be expanded and how they can be transposed between counseling and litigation settings.

This working paper is being prepared for publication as part of an online symposium "Reflections on Legal Education: How We Teach, How They Learn" forthcoming 2006-07 in the inaugural issue of the American Justice Law Review, American Justice School of Law.

Keywords: legal eductation, skills, intellectual property, patent, copyright, covenants not to compete, trademark, trade dress
