NOTE There are so many more resources available within this "Transactional Research Center" on Bloomberg Law.  One example is "Search Transactional Precedents" located in the "Drafting Tools" box (pictured above). 

For transactional lawyers a "precedent" is a transactional document (like a purchase or loan agreement) that has been used in a previous deal.  Often firms or companies may have their own "in-house" databases which contain "in-house precedents".  Understanding how to access these various in-house work product retrieval systems will be important if one is working in transactional practice.  These in-house systems will likely differ from one employer to another.
