Should Students Read and Apply Cases in a Contract Drafting Class?

I’ve been looking for ways to teach contract drafting to my students in a way that is more like what I did in practice. Teaching students to write clearly and unambiguously is an important component of any drafting class. But students need to also learn how to apply the statutes and cases to contract clauses. When I practiced law, I contributed to the substance of the documents I drafted so I thought my students would be better prepared if I had them read and apply cases in my class.
