Welcome!

Introducing the new and improved Legal Analysis and Writing homepage.
September 26, 2012

The L.A.W. teaching assistants will update this space each Wednesday during the fall semester, sharing techniques for effective exam preparation, advice to manage law school stress, and more.  Explore the sidebar links to find quick guides to legal research and information about upcoming department events, and please feel free to contact your T.A. with suggested content.

As we prepare our first substantive post of the year, be sure to watch this interview with Chief Justice John Roberts (just in case you need an additional incentive to focus on improving your writing skills this semester).

Lawyering is located in Wood Hall on the Law Campus.
