Seeking a part-time lecturer to teach Effective Writing for Lawyers for LLM students in the American Law Program for the spring 2026 term. his seminar will focus on the best practices for effective writing across a broad range of legal communications. The course is not offered on a remote basis and instruction must be done on campus in person. Weekly assignments will build upon -- but not overlap with -- the fall semester Legal Research and Writing seminar's assignments. Students will be exposed to a range of writing styles and approaches suitable for different audiences. Assignments will focus on the craft of writing and effective expression, not on substantive legal issues or legal research and may include such work products as lawyer-to-lawyer letters, informal client advisories, internal communications and official submissions to government agencies. Students will receive direct individual feedback on their assignments.
