Making Effective Use Of Practitioners' Briefs In The Law School Curriculum, Anna P. Hemingway Jan 2010

Making Effective Use Of Practitioners' Briefs In The Law School Curriculum, Anna P. Hemingway

St. Thomas Law Review

This article argues that practitioners' briefs do have a place in the law school classroom. Part II of this article discusses the pedagogy behind using practitioners' briefs in the legal writing classroom. It demonstrates how using practitioners' briefs enriches lesson plans, heightens interest in the classroom, and helps students gain a richer appreciation for lawyers' goals when they write as advocates. Part III presents some different ways of using practitioners' briefs to teach persuasive writing. It examines how the author has used practitioners' briefs to teach persuasive writing of the statement of facts, point headings and summary of the argument. …


On-Line Legal Research Workshops, Frederick B. Jonassen Jan 2010

On-Line Legal Research Workshops, Frederick B. Jonassen

St. Thomas Law Review

Like riding a bicycle, playing tennis, or driving a car, legal research is a skill, and like any other skill, it is learned by doing, and not by listening to a lecture. However, lectures are indispensable for introducing the skill. The mental processes applied in electronic legal research may differ from those applied to book legal research. But because both electronic and book research are skills, a guided workshop in electronic legal research may be based on similar principles to those underlying a workshop in book legal research, with appropriate modifications. The aspects of the electronic legal workshop proposed here …

The National Conference Of Law Reviews Symposium Issue, Alfredo Garcia Jan 2008

The National Conference Of Law Reviews Symposium Issue, Alfredo Garcia

St. Thomas Law Review

The articles in this issue contain a common thread: the importance of the enduring values embedded in our Constitution, especially during times when our country confronts challenges that threaten the security of its citizens. In a thoughtful retrospective, one author reminds us of the continuing struggle of the civil rights movement to bring to life the concepts of equality and due process, which form the core of our collective and individual freedoms. It is my honor to distill, in this introduction, the lessons embodied in the penetrating and thought-provoking pieces that comprise this volume.

Legal Writing Programs And Professionalism: Legal Writing Professors Can Join The Academic Club, James M. Boland Jan 2006

Legal Writing Programs And Professionalism: Legal Writing Professors Can Join The Academic Club, James M. Boland

St. Thomas Law Review

Sociological jurisprudence has been a major factor in legal interpretive schemes for over a century, but this has not been reflected in most legal writing programs. These programs must produce legal writers who not only are competent writers, but are also competent legal theorists who know the difference between classical rule-based reasoning and modem interpretive methods. Concomitantly, legal writing professors must produce scholarship that reflects the diversity of these more complex schemes, rather than just writing about writing. This article will first describe the current condition of legal writing programs, and then suggest changes that more thoroughly introduce students to …

English As A Second Language - Or Why Lawyers Can't Write, H P. Southerland Jan 2005

English As A Second Language - Or Why Lawyers Can't Write, H P. Southerland

St. Thomas Law Review

For more than thirty years I've spent a lot of time reading bad writing. By bad writing, I mean writing that fails of its essential purpose-so flawed in concept or execution that it can hardly inform, much less persuade. The writing is the sort that lawyers are routinely expected to produce: briefs, judicial opinions, essays dealing with law-related subjects, and the like. What I see, for the most part, is the writing of second- and third-year law students, the vast majority of whom graduate and enter upon a lifetime career as lawyers.' They take with them for tomorrow the writing …
