Legal Analysis, Writing, and Research II

Catalog description

This course further develops and reinforces the goals of the Legal Analysis Writing and Research I, adding persuasive writing and oral advocacy. Building on the skills from LAWR I, students learn how to: (1) organize coherent persuasive analysis using conventional legal structure and format; and (2) prepare and present an oral argument. Specifically, in this course, students write persuasive memos to trial courts and argue their motions to their peers, and to outside lawyers and judges. This course cannot be taken for an S/U grade.
