2 Second Draft 1 (1986)

handle is hein.journals/secnd2 and id is 1 raw text is: SECOND DRAFT Newsletter Of The Legal Writing Institute VOLUME 2, ISSUE 1 NEXTSTEP IN LEGAL WRITING PROGRAMS IS THEME FOR INSTITUTE'S JULY CONFERENCE Those who teach in or administer legal writing programs can learn how to improve the quality of both their teaching and their programs at a three-day legal writing conference to be held on July 17, 18, and 19, 1986, at the University of Puget Sound School of Law in Tacoma, Washington. The conference is the second legal writing conference to be hosted by the University of Puget Sound. The first conference, held during the summer of 1984, attracted 108 participants from 56 law-schools from across the United-States and Canada. During that conference, conference participants discussed different methods of structuring legal writing programs and learned techniques that they could use to teach effectively within those different types of programs. At the 1986 conference, which is being co-sponsored by the University of Puget Sound School of Law and the Legal Writing Institute, participants will be given the opportunity to do the same MARCH 1986 thing -- plus more. The conference will feature two series of sessions. During the first series, the sessions will focus on the skills needed to teach legal writ- ing to first and second year students. Participants will learn how to draft effective research and writing programs, learn how to diagnose student writing problems and critique student papers, and learn how to teach more effectively both inside and outside the classroom. The second series of sessions is designed to foster thinking about the Next Step, the theme of the 1986 confer- ence. Consultants will make presentations on a wide range of topics: Carl Felsenfeld will discuss legal drafting, Joseph Williams will describe cognitive strategies in legal writing, Marjorie Rombauer will explore the relationship between legal reasoning and legal writing, Laurel Oates and Chris Rideout will show how writing can be used to enhance legal thinking, James Jones will discuss rhe- toric and legal writing, and Mary Lawrence will lead a panel discussing current
