Learning to write like a lawyer requires more than passive reading and listening to lectures; it requires active learning. Legal Analysis and Writing: An Active-Learning Approach demystifies the process of analyzing a fact pattern and translating that analysis into succinct and objective writing. This book’s scaffolded approach emphasizes an incremental presentation of the best practices of legal writing while offering a wide variety of features to help rising lawyers master the form and function of the documents they will compose in practice. Professors and students will benefit from: Study guide questions for each chapter to help students focus their reading Detailed explanations throughout the book, allowing students to understand the writing process Check-in exercises enabling students to test their understanding Plentiful writing examples to provide students with models for good writing Templates, worksheets, and checklists to help students analyze the law and assess their writing A detailed glossary to help students master key terminology In-class application exercises, quizzes, and more Support for flipped classroom and/or team-based learning models of instruction
