Writing is an essential tool for you as an attorney. You work with words every day—in your memos, pleadings, client letters, emails—and the words that you choose in those documents convey your ability and confidence. Are you sending the right message? This course focuses on learning to write effectively using a combination of lectures, class exercises and discussions. There will be a special emphasis on drafting and the rules of construction.
