LRRW is the basic legal writing course. In LRRW students learn how to use legal reasoning to predict the outcome of a legal problem. Each step of the process is a foundation for the next step and therefore must be competently completed. Assignments include several short research assignments and short in class and out of class writing exercises. Students write three complete legal memoranda, two with closed research and one that includes open library research as part of the assignment.
Students also learn about writing client letters and are introduced to legal drafting.
