Individualized
Writing Instruction Services
For 1Ls
The IIS is the
place to come for help with any questions related to legal writing and
organizing your writing. You can access
the services by coming to a group workshop or signing up for an individual session.
Individual Sessions
If you prefer
to work one on one, you can reserve an individual session. These sessions can be for up to 30 minutes, and are held in room 2378,
which is in the library.
To find the room, enter the library's big
glass reading room and take the long stairway down to level 2. Go through the glass doors and then through
the door to the right. You'll see room
2378 straight ahead, at the end of that hallway.
You can drop in, or sign up to reserve an
appointment. If it is difficult for you
to stop by the office, you can call 263-5088 or e-mail mbray@facstaff.wisc.edu, explaining your concern and leaving a
list of the times you are available.
You'll get a response within two working days.
Workshops
If you want
general information geared to the writing challenges all 1Ls face, come to the
workshops. These workshops focus on
helping you learn how to write comfortably for the lawyers who are your
teachers and will become your employers.
Each workshop is offered at different times so that at least one
workshop fits around your class schedule.
Bring your lunch and come get some tips to help you impress your
readers, save you time, and reduce your stress.
The first workshop is announced below.
Writing Clearer
Supporting Paragraphs
In this 30 minute
workshop, learn how simple word choices make thesis sentences clearer and
logical flow more smoothly. This
technique, although simple, can be used in all sorts of legal writing whenever
you are trying to make and support a point.
The workshop will include an opportunity to practice the technique in a
relaxed environment, and will include time for individual questions.
