Chapter 18 Assignment

Drafting a More Extensive Contract

Draft an employment contract for your "dream" paralegal job. Of course, you must be realistic! Indicate what duties you will be responsible for, and what consideration and duties the employer will be responsible for. The most logical way to write a contract is to group each party's obligations together. Also avoid using legalese, verbose and gender-specific language.

Be sure to review the Employment Agreement list on p. 545, Exhibit 18-17 sample employment agreement in chapter 18 of the text.
