That is great idea. I think me original thought still applies. Law schools should follow LaSalle’s lead. Writing convincingly and well is more that using “hereinafter” every time you want to use an acronym. Really? who uses hereinafter in polite conversation?

La Salle doesn’t have a Law School. Legal Writing is a core requirement for their English Department, particularly for those who follow the writing track.

But, as a whole LaSalle is one of the few Universities who emphasize writing across the curriculum. By that I mean, it doesn’t matter what major you have; you have to take at least one writing intensive class in your major to graduate. it was one of the reasons that made me want to attend

I think all law schools ought to follow LaSalle’s lead, and I believe most do. Even if Legal Writing is a requirement, I urge everyone starting law school to squeeze as much legal writing into their program as possible. Get involved in a clinic, or join the moot court team. Take additional writing classes when they’re available. If it’s not a requirement, look for every opportunity to get experience. It’s the key to a successful career after law school.

La Salle University actually makes Legal Writing a core requirement for graduation.

Uma, My Pittsburgh followers would rather have the site show more Black and Gold for the Steelers football team, and I completely forgot to retool the look to reflect my green and gold devotion to the Green Bay Packers. I’m glad you like the site. Giving good, useful information is what it’s all about.

We’re working on the facebook page and it (with the twitter account) will be up this week. This week’s discussion topic is on overcoming perfectionism, which plagues the eLife Mentor, and all of her projects — including important social media communications!
