Writing conferences support the Legal Writing Academy's goal of developing strong legal writers across the law school curriculum. Students can sign up for individualized writing conferences with a Writing Leader. Legal Writing Academy Writing Leaders are upper-year law students with strong legal writing and analysis skills, trained to help other students become better writers. Leaders don't spell-check, grammar-check, cite-check, edit, proofread, or teach other students how to analyze substantive legal issues. Rather, Writing Leaders help other students develop strategies to recognize, correct, and avoid global writing problems.
