Legal Editing

In this one-credit RWE course, students learn, refine, and practice various editing techniques that strengthen their ability to communicate legal analysis -- and related types of writing -- clearly, succinctly, and effectively. Students also explore strategies for helping other legal writers substantially improve drafts. Legal Editing enhances skills learned in RRWA, further prepares students for advanced writing courses and for law practice, and complements work with journals, competition teams, and other organizations.
