The Berkeley Transactional Practice Project Competencies / Skills Survey (Presentation Slides)

Abstract

This set of slides, presented by UC Berkeley Professor Eric Talley to the California State Bar Task Force on Admissions Regulation Reform, summarizes the findings of a survey of transaction-focused attorneys and faculty regarding necessary skills and competencies. The survey documents several areas that are highly valued by transaction-oriented attorneys, but which tend not to be the focus of many proposed competencies-based reforms that focus more exclusively on litigation oriented areas.
