Legal Research & Writing

The Legal Research and Writing Program, part of the Communication & Advocacy Program, provides courses on legal research and legal writing for all students at all levels.  Our goal is to help students gain the skills that they will need to be successful lawyers.  Because we recognize that writing is best taught if there is intense feedback, we keep our class size small, both in the first-year required courses and in our advanced writing classes.  We recognize that learning styles and experiences with writing differ, and we offer individualized instructional services (IIS) for those wanting or needing additional instruction.

The Legal Research and Writing Office is located in Room 4373, off the library. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Here's a Map and Directions to our offices.
