PROFESSOR SAMANTHA PRINCE TO PRESENT AT THE 2025 AALS ANNUAL MEETING
October 2024 — Professor Samantha Prince has been invited by the Section on Transactional Law & Skills to present at the Association of American Law Schools’ (AALS) 2025 Annual Meeting. Professor Prince will participate on the Pedagogy Panel on Experiential Exercises in Business Law and present one of the assignments that she uses in her Entrepreneurship Law: Operational Issues class.
Professor Prince teaches two experiential Entrepreneurship Law courses. She includes a small business acquisition agreement negotiation and drafting assignment in her Operational Issues class to show students one way a business owner exits while another may be entering a business endeavor. The main parts of the collaborative assignment include an acquisition agreement draft exchange, negotiation, final acquisition agreement, letter to client, and a peer review of team members. Pedagogically this checks a lot of boxes.
This assignment was created based on her own practical experience and is the one that she will be presenting at the AALS meeting.
