Teaching Bank MembershipWe all know the mantra: writing is rewriting. When we teach students how to write, we help them develop an editorial sensibility, as much as a compositional one. Yet in an era where students read and write less (except for texting, of course) and increasingly depend on generative AI, revision is harder to master. If students struggle with how to even begin writing, how can we expect they will know how to “begin again”?
One of the most frustrating challenges for legal writing professors is preparing detailed feedback on a student’s draft, only to see the same problems pop up again in the rewrite. Not just similar problems.
