Practice Meets Pedagogy: Views from the
Bench, Bar, and Academy on Law School Graduates’ Legal Research and
Writing Skills
St. John’s University School of Law is pleased to announce that
it will host its first Legal
Research and Writing Conference on Friday, December 5, 2008 at
the University’s Manhattan campus, near the World Financial
Center.
The conference will explore how legal research and writing as
taught in law school can best prepare new lawyers for practice in
the workplace. We plan to offer perspectives from judges, law
firms, other legal employers, and, of course, legal writing
professors. Topics will include developments in the workplace
affecting the skills expected of, and the training available to,
beginning lawyers. There will be much food for thought and
ample opportunity for holiday shopping!
