LL.M. Legal Research and Writing (LRW) introduces students to U.S. legal reasoning and practice by examining court opinions, teaching legal research methods, and developing skills of legal writing and oral presentation in the United States. The course emphasizes understanding the U.S. legal system, common law legal reasoning, legal problem solving, and effective written and oral communication of legal analysis.
The spring 1-unit LRW course is part of a series of three courses that students will complete during their LL.M. degree. During the spring semester (remote), students will learn basic analysis, writing, and citation skills, which will help them to complete writing assignments in U.S. law school and legal practice. During the summer (in person), they will complete 1-unit of LRW, where they will learn legal research methods and draft their Capstone Writing Project (a legal memorandum of 5,000 to 6,000 words on an assigned topic). Students will also make a short oral presentation on a topic of their choice. During the fall semester (remote), students will complete the 1-unit Capstone Writing Workshop, in which they will revise and edit their Capstone Writing Project.
