“Built over two years of rigorous curriculum development and pilot testing, rubi’s flagship program, The Transactional Practice Guide: M&A, is designed to take a brand new lawyer and train them to operate at the level of a second-year associate.

rubi is thrilled to announce that The University of Texas School of Law, in collaboration with the Texas Law and Business Program, has signed on to provide platform access to the entire law school.
“Our program bridges the gap between legal education and the realities of transactional practice,” said Prof. Eliot Cotton, the Texas Law and Business Program’s director. “rubi is designed to help students develop skills that have traditionally taken years in a firm to learn: context, structure, and a clear understanding of how deals actually work. Providing this platform for our students is a tremendous opportunity for us, and we’re excited to get started.”
Jerath and Keeble are particularly excited for the partnership. “By offering rubi to every student at Texas Law before they even enter the profession, Texas Law is demonstrating its continued commitment to giving its students a competitive edge. Madison and I are both proud graduates of UT Austin, and rubi was built right here in Austin. To have rubi in the hands of Texas Law students is deeply meaningful to us both,” said Jerath.”
