Pronoun References: Part I-When No Substitute Will Do, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

In our writing we know who is who and what is what, but we often fail to let our readers know. Readers follow easily if we give them specific information. A pronoun can be a good substitute for specific information, but to avoid confusion, a pronoun must clearly refer back to its antecedent-the word or words for which it substitutes.

Grammar And Style Check Programs: Machine V. Man, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Garry Kasparov fought for all of us. A human being against Deep Blue, a computer that has thirty-two processors acting as thirty-two brains simultaneously to consider future chess moves. When the computer won the first game, it was an apocalypse for chess enthusiasts. Was an artificial brain actually superior? A similar question arises in writing: do computerized grammar and style checkers create superior writing?

The Dash-“A Hasty Stroke Of The Pen”, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The dash is one of the most versatile punctuation marks. However, its very versatility makes it a mark to use with care. First, the dash should be distinguished from the hyphen. Al- though these two punctuation marks look similar, they differ both in form and function. In form, the dash is more elongated and does not appear as a separate symbol on most keyboards.

The Apostrophe: Reports Of Its Death Are Greatly Exaggerated, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The apostrophe is on its deathbed, if you believe Charles Larson, a professor of literature at American University. Larson argues that the apostrophe's murderers are those younger than thirty-five who persist in abusing this punctuation mark I agree with Larson that the apostrophe, as we now know it, seems endangered. However, I disagree with Larson's diagnosis of the cause.

Scholarly Articles

This Article will explore the issues that arise as more and more law schools face important definitional questions: To what extent should first year programs focus on providing in-depth research and writing training? To what extent should those programs adopt a more holistic curriculum that exposes students to a range of skills beyond research and writing?

The Article will begin with a description of what is actually done in first year programs at American law schools. This information was gathered in a Spring 1995 survey of law school research and writing programs, to which representatives of 111 schools responded. It …
