This book is a new primary text for use in clinical, externship, legal writing, interviewing, negotiation, counseling, trial/appellate advocacy, and doctrinal courses. This text centers narrative theory as an effective way to teach law school courses and to practice the full range of lawyering skills.
The book is designed for law schools and legal educators to prepare their students to exercise leadership in law firms and legal organizations, as well as other roles they will play in society.
This edition of Legal Writing by Design remains unique in demonstrating how to transform thoughts into writing by explaining the link between thinking and writing.
Because interviews and counseling sessions will look different every time you conduct them, you need to have guidelines that are both helpful and flexible.
Preparing for Digital Law Practice introduces law students to essential legal technologies. The book covers the full lifecycle of a legal matter—from client intake to file closing—and explains both familiar tools and emerging technologies like AI and cloud computing, with practical examples and ethical guidance.
