Advanced Judicial Writing (JS 626)

Pre-Course writing assignment for Advanced Judicial Writing:

Judges enrolled in the course will study style and argumentation each morning, then work intensively on individual writing projects each afternoon. One of the pre-course assignments is to submit two judicial decisions to be analyzed during the morning sessions. Please limit these two judicial decisions to be 10 pages or less.

In addition to the two judicial decisions, we also invite you to define the writing project you would like to pursue each afternoon. You may want to work on a major decision or series of decisions, a law review article or article for an academic journal, a court related project already underway, or another project important to you. You will receive additional information from the course administrator requesting this information under separate cover following confirmation of your enrollment in the course.
