Each student has his or her own writing and research strengths, weaknesses, and goals, and each student will spend the duration of the course improving on those strengths, addressing those weaknesses, and working toward those goals.

During this course, you will complete approximately thirty written assignments. Of those assignments, some require original legal research, several are rewrites of initial assignments, others build on initial assignments (for example, a complaint or a client letter that builds on a prior research memorandum), one is an editing assignment, and five are separate reflective assignments. These assignments require both objective/predictive writing (in which the author predicts the likely outcome of a case and supports that prediction) and persuasive writing (in which the author argues in favor of a particular position).

Each day, you will meet with me via Zoom. Before the meeting, you must upload that day's assignments to D2L. During the meeting, you will orally report on the assignments. I will then give written and oral feedback on your previous day's work, including the grade. Finally, you will receive a new assignment. Online videos and LRAC textbooks will help you complete each project.
