Description

This course opens the bonnet on the English language to demonstrate not only how it works, but also how to tune it. It teaches conscious practical skills that students can apply to legal and all their writing. It will show students how to please and hold a reader. By teaching clarity of expression it will also foster clarity of thought. The ability to write well, with clarity of thought and expression, is an essential and prized skill for employers in legal practice and outside it. It is a key skill to acquire or polish as law students prepare to graduate and look for employment.
