Abstract
Legal writing professors know that effective teaching means modeling in the classroom the actual demands of law practice. Indeed, for our students to succeed in practice we must create “real-world” scenarios that develop both their skills and confidence. The recent economic downturn has only heightened the demand for newly minted attorneys able to step seamlessly into the practice world, which, in turn, has heightened our obligation to create practice-ready law school graduates.
Keywords: legal writing, education, analysis, research, real world law
