President’s Welcome
Welcome to the Legal Writing Institute Homepage!
The Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving
legal writing by providing a forum for discussion and scholarship
about legal writing, analysis, and research. The Institute promotes
these activities through its publications and its Summer Conferences,
held every two years.
I would like to especially welcome those of you who are new to
the teaching of Legal Writing. You have entered a discipline that
is both daunting and immensely rewarding. Fortunately, you are not
alone. In the Legal Writing Institute, you have found the home and
heart of the Legal Writing community. Through the Institute, you
will come to know many teachers--veterans and novices alike--who
are dedicated to helping each other become better teachers and scholars.
I am sure you will find, as I have, that the Institute’s members
are a tremendous source of practical advice, creative ideas, and
needed support.
This web site, like all LWI activities, was created and is maintained
thanks to the volunteer work of its members. It is designed to keep
members informed of Institute activities as well as provide access
to various resources about legal analysis and writing. I hope you
will find the resources included here helpful. However, to keep
the site current, we need your help. As you browse the many resources
linked to the site, please let us know how the site can be improved.
