St. John’s University School of Law is pleased to announce that it will host a Legal Research and Writing Conference on Friday, December 5, 2008 at the University’s Manhattan campus, near the World Financial Center. The conference will explore how legal research and writing as taught in law school can best prepare new lawyers for practice in the workplace. We plan to offer perspectives from judges, law firms, other legal employers, and, of course, legal writing professors. Topics will include developments in the workplace affecting the skills expected of, and the training available to, beginning lawyers. There will be much food for thought and ample opportunity for holiday shopping!
- Legal Writing Institute Bi-ennial Conference
- July 27–30, 2010 ~ Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort, Marco Island, FL
The LWI Board of Directors has selected the Marco Island Marriott Beach
Resort for the site of the 2010 Biennial Conference and appointed the
Conference Site Committee to begin planning the conference. The Resort
is located on three miles of pristine Southwest Florida beaches. With
over 225,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space, a
full-service event planning staff, several renowned restaurants,
championship golf, a world-class spa, and a wide range of activities and
amenities, the Resort seemed like an ideal setting for the first LWI
Conference to be held at a non-campus site. The impressive meeting
space, beach location, and affordable accommodations should entice
members to not only attend the 2010 Conference but also to combine it
with a family vacation, especially since the LWI special rates have been
extended to before and after the conference dates. For more information

The Conference Site Committee includes Dan Barnett (Boston College), Chair, Libby White (Villanova), Debby McGregor (Indiana–Indianapolis) and Susan Kosse (Louisville).
