Using Actual Legal Work To Teach Legal Research And Writing, Michael A. Millemann
Using Actual Legal Work To Teach Legal Research And Writing, Michael A. Millemann
Faculty Scholarship
Legal research and writing (LRW) teachers should use actual legal work to teach their courses, including (indeed, especially) first-year courses. The legal work might come from a planned or ongoing lawsuit, transaction, or other matter. What is important is that it is real, although in my model, the teacher can add hypothetical features to customize the legal work to the particular LRW course.

It also helps students to explore new dimensions of basic skills, including those related to the development and …

Legal Writing And Academic Support: Timing Is Everything, Dionne L. Koller
Faculty Scholarship
The conventional wisdom is that legal writing and academic support go hand-in-hand. Most law schools assume that struggling students can be reliably identified for academic support through their first-year legal writing course, and that first-year legal writing instructors can fairly easily and effectively provide this support. Indeed, this is the prevailing view in current academic support and legal writing scholarship. Professor Koller's article challenges the conventional wisdom and instead points out several issues that should be considered if a law school relies on the first-year legal writing course as a component of, or in lieu of, an academic support program. …
