Legal Research and Writing Lecture, plus Assignments

Hi all,

My apologies, as I was hoping to have a narrated slideshow on legal research and writing completed by this wednesday. I was unable to hit that, largely due to working group duties for a couple of external organizations.

I'll have a lecture online as of tonight or tomorrow afternoon. The topic is legal research and writing. Those of you with experience in the topic matter may wish to skim the material. I highly recommend putting in a bit of effort to learn about various methodologies early in your law school careers, as writing and research are essential skills. There are some recommended books listed in both the syllabus and in the narrated lecture.

Lastly, there are a couple of simple assignments that I will be handing out. These are due after the break. (See the 'assignment schedule' blog post for more info). Both are fairly simple exercises that are designed to get you using a couple of very useful tools.

I'll send out an update when the material is online.

Thanks!

James
