Limited enrollment.  Reading assignment for first class posted online.  The top five students on the wait list should attend the first day.  Professor is willing to have a student tape a class with the permission of the professor for personal use only.  The class focus is on 1) understanding high tech licenses/agreements used by high-tech companies and law-firms and 2) agreement drafting theory and practice.  While not a prerequisite, IP Survey (388) would be helpful.
