Fall 2008 ~ Legal Writing Beyond Memos & Briefs

JALWD Fall 2006 ~ Rhetoric & Argumentation In this issue, the Journal publishes articles about the “best practices” of legal writing in contexts other than the traditional litigation setting. Although much valuable legal writing scholarship has focused on the memoranda and briefs that are produced in connection with lawsuits, many lawyers are engaged in other kinds of writing: they draft transactional documents, legislation, rules, and regulations; they write formal and informal opinions and correspondence; they produce essays and articles for legal scholars and practicing lawyers.

Fall 2007 ~ When Worlds Collide

JALWD Fall 2006 ~ Rhetoric & Argumentation This issue collects essays growing out of the Legal Writing Section program at the Annual Meeting of the Association of American Law Schools in January 2007, a program that focused on relationships between legal writing teachers and clinicians in teaching and scholarship. The essays in this issue explore existing intersections between legal writing and clinical pedagogy, scholarship, and practice as well as the spaces where there is an undeveloped potential for forging and developing professional relationships between writing and clinical teachers.
