LAW-5010 LEGAL RESEARCH AND WRITING 1
This three credit course introduces students to the primary sources of legal research, such as case law and statutes. It provides students with instruction and practice on how to access these sources through books, data bases, and the internet. The course also instructs students in the principles and conventions of basic writing and objective legal writing, and in the rules of legal citation. In a process-oriented approach, students develop research and writing skills by drafting office memoranda, receiving instructor feedback, and rewriting these memoranda.
