"During law school, I took courses in my second and third year that focused on contract drafting and negotiations because I knew I was interested in transactional work after graduating. I have also needed to review and negotiate contracts personally. I was looking to rent an apartment when law school started, and I wasn't sure if I wanted a roommate or not. Therefore, when I was reviewing the lease agreement, I paid close attention to the different options for canceling or changing my lease if I wanted to start with a one-bedroom and move to a two-bedroom before my lease officially ended. I had a lot of discussions with the landlord and was able to ensure flexibility in the lease. After going through that process, I see the importance of making contracts readable and understand why clients may have a lot of questions when reviewing a contract."
