The goals of this course are to ensure that students are familiar with the IRAC legal organizational style and how to write using deduction to persuade their readers as a practicing Common Law lawyer would. Additionally, citation formatting, in accordance with standard Blue Book/American courtroom style will be included where pertinent.
In this course students will learn about Stare Decisis and writing styles ordinarily implemented by lawyers across the globe, with a special focus on the American legal writing style. By necessity, this course will cover the differing strengths of precedents, statutes, and how to properly reference precedents. Class time will mostly take the form of: 1. lectures, 2. writing time, and 3. practice exercises.

| 2 | Lecture: Reading and analyzing case law |
| 3 | Lecture: Understanding Legal Documents, Types of legal documents (memos, briefs, etc.) |
| 4 | Lecture: Bluebook Citation and Referencing |

| In addition to lectures, writing assignments, and readings, some cooperative work will be practiced in class such as peer reviews and group citation exercises. |
The professor will provide you with examples of different types and qualities of writings that students should read and analyze outside of class time. A minimum of at least 3 hours of reading samples and polishing your own works, is likely (and depends largely on one’s own reading speed).

The law, and therefore this course, inevitably deals with topics of a sensitive nature. Topics such as race, sexuality, freedom of speech, bodily autonomy, religion, life and death, are the types of topics that all societies grapple with. In your study of the law you will encounter some topics that are innately difficult to discuss. The number one rule for this class is that you do your utmost to be respectful and generous to others. The topics themselves and the phrasing/vocabulary used to discuss them may be difficult at times. I ask that everyone stay open-minded and willing to listen to others. Intentionally harmful, demeaning, derogatory, or other behavior will not be tolerated.
