The Politics of Legal Writing

The Politics of Legal Writing: Proceedings of a Conference for Legal Research and Writing Program Directors, July 28-29, 1995, is the record of the proceedings of the first national conference of legal writing program directors, held in San Diego, California, at the California Western School of Law on July 28-29, 1995. Sixteen conference presentations are reported, and the document also includes the reports of the post-conference activities by the conference attendees that led to their decision to form the Association of Legal Writing Directors. The original document was edited by Jan M. Levine (Duquesne), Rebecca A. Cochran (Dayton) and Steven J. Johnsen (Lewis-Clark), with support from the West Publishing Company, and while the document has been available on the Internet, and was distributed to all conference attendees, it has not been formally published elsewhere. It can now be downloaded from SSRN.
