This course will develop the writing skills you will use in litigation, with a focus on the kinds of clients, cases, and forums you will encounter in a public interest practice. Our primary focus will be on motions practice, but you’ll also get some practice writing to clients and opposing counsel. We will work not only on your writing style, but also your strategic judgment. You will have about six writing assignments of varying intensity. You will edit your peers’ work, which will make you a more empathetic writer and a better self-editor. The course will prepare you for the pace and expectations of real-life practice. This two-credit class meets once a week. There are no exams. Grading is pass/fail.
