An Emphasis on Legal Writing
We recognize that the ability to write well is a key skill for lawyers, and that excellent writing and quality
research are essential to any legal career. Legal Writing and Analysis (LAW) provides a legal method
framework for students to understand and write about the law. LAW gives students an overview of civil
and criminal cases, provides information about the lawyer’s role in the legal system, and teaches students
to brief cases, synthesize cases and interpret statutes. Legal writing emphasizes using case synthesis for
analogical reasoning as well as rule-based and policy-based reasoning, and our instructors explain how to
use these types of reasoning to organize a legal discussion.
