Legal Writing, Moot Courts & Journals
The Law School prepares students for professional careers by training them to analyze legal issues and to communicate well about them. To that end, students are required to focus on legal writing throughout their three years of study. As students write and talk about the law, their understanding of the law develops. Correspondingly, as students' understanding of the law deepens, their ability to write and talk about it increases. Expanding both understanding and communications skills increases students' abilities to solve problems for clients in clinical settings.
Students may satisfy the legal writing requirements through courses, moot court participation or work on law journals. First-year students are required to take Legal Writing. In the second year, students choose to serve on a law journal or participate in moot court. In the third year, students can participate in moot court, serve on a journal or take a legal writing seminar. |
