This class is a writing course for students who desire additional exposure to fundamental analysis and writing skills after the first-year legal writing and research course. For those students, the course provides a crucial opportunity to return to basic organization, analysis, and writing mechanics. Students learn to accurately and efficiently read multiple legal sources, assess their importance and relevance, and organize those authorities into a comprehensive summary of the law relevant to the question presented. Students work on topics in clear and effective writing with exercises such as revising flawed sentences and passages from legal documents. In addition to these exercises, students write a legal memorandum ideal for use as a polished and complete writing sample.
