Course Description
Students will write the types of documents that are typical in representing clients in a case: engagement letters, demand letters, pleadings, discovery requests and responses, communications with opposing counsel, mediation statements, motions, affidavits, and trial-level briefs. They will learn how to adapt their tone, format, and substance to a variety of practice settings and audiences. They will refine their research and writing skills through in-class exercises, peer critique, and extensive instructor feedback. Instructor: Ursula Weigold
