LAWS 2032

Written submissions are the largest part of a lawyer’s advocacy to a court or tribunal. This assignment-based class seeks to make students more persuasive legal writers. The course will teach the formal requirements for written advocacy, but the focus will be on improving the effectiveness of legal writing. An understanding of the relevant legislation and controlling case law is of little value if the lawyer is unable to persuade the court how it applies and what result should follow on the facts.
