March 6-24, 2006 Before Spring Break, you will be drafting your trial level brief, and getting organized to outline for other classes. After Break, you’ll be revising the research memo and beginning to gear up for finals. Rather than succumbing to procrastination or spinning your wheels, come to the IIS when you get stuck in any of these writing tasks. Appointments Usually one 30-minute session is enough to get the answers you need. Improving exam performance usually takes a series of appointments. But either way, getting some advice on how to solve the problem is less stressful than worrying on your own. And sessions are always confidential unless you choose to coordinate them with your professor. Appointments are available each weekday, and you can reserve one simply by signing up in room 2378 any time the library is open. Signing up is the fastest way to get an appointment, but you can also e-mail your request to mbray@wisc.edu. Workshops Legal Resumes and Cover Letters You may be thinking about job hunting over winter break, which means you need to revise your resume and create cover letters for legal readers. This workshop helps you see your resume as your reader does, which helps you make better format and content choices. It also helps you create a cover letter than sounds more individualized. If you have a resume you have used in the past, bring it to the workshop.
