Open to all second- and third-year law students, the FLI is a hands-on crash course designed to allow students of all experience levels to learn new skills or hone existing ones.

In the fall semester, the Texas Business Law Society hosts an intramural competition for first-year and upper-level students known as the Texas Transactional Skills Competition(TTSC). The competition provides an opportunity for students to draft and negotiate a transactional document, such as a term sheet or an agreement, in a manner that mirrors corporate legal practice. The competition is judged by corporate partners and associates from firms all over the state of Texas. This is an excellent opportunity for students to gain exposure to real practical documents and experience the role of a transactional attorney. Additionally, the TTSC provides students with networking and mentorship opportunities with practicing transactional attorneys.

The 2024 competition will be held Saturday, October 5th. During the competition, participants compete against their peers over two rounds of negotiation. The goal is to reach a deal by demonstrating your negotiation skills and articulating your client’s needs. TBLS will host a reception for the judges and participants following the competition. This year, we are excited to host the competition in-person!
