In the tradition of Baylor Law School's unique "Top Gun" competition for the nation's best student trial advocates, Baylor Law School will launch The Closer, a unique transactional law competition on MLK weekend 2017. The Closer is an innovative, invitation-only transactional law tournament where law schools that have consistently excelled at Transactional LawMeets send their top student transactional negotiator to compete.
- Unlike other transactional law competitions, competitors in The Closer face one another individually.
- Participants do not receive the file until they arrive in Waco, a mere 24 hours before the first round of negotiations begin.
- Preparation includes reviewing documents, interviewing the clients, and taking a trip to the actual places related to the transaction.
- The judges for each round are distinguished transactional lawyers.
