ADV LEGAL WRITING: PRACTICE

Catalog description

ADVANCED LEGAL WRITING: WRITING FOR PRACTICE builds upon the required writing program courses by focusing on practice-ready skills that will increase student competency for legal practice. It will also provide the added benefit of familiarizing students with California Bar Examination performance test questions, which will be used as prompts for weekly writing projects that simulate typical professional legal writing tasks. For each project, students will prepare and receive feedback on a draft, incorporate that feedback, and produce a final document by the next week. The process of drafting, receiving feedback, and finalizing practice-oriented documents focuses on different writing techniques each week to refine the student's professional writing voice.
