The Writing Program:

In recognition of the pivotal importance of written and oral communication, the School of Law has developed an intensive writing program. The writing program integrates research and writing in a client-based, problem-solving structure. Students have a law librarian research mentor and a full-time legal writing professor. Both expositive and persuasive writing skills are emphasized. An upper-class course in Legal Drafting is also required. A major research paper, known as the General Writing Requirement, completes the writing program.
