Legal Analysis and Writing II

Catalog description

This course is a continuation of Legal Analysis & Writing I. While teaching legal analysis and clear and effective writing remains the basic goal, students shift from objective to persuasive writing and oral advocacy. Students learn to incorporate the skills learned in Legal Analysis & Writing I and Legal Research into preparing persuasive documents such as letters and trial memoranda and hone oral advocacy skills in a mock trial court argument. A grade of at least D+ in Legal Writing I is a prerequisite for this course.
