From the publisher: Designed to help law students write and publish articles, this text provides detailed instructions for every aspect of the law school writing, research, and publication process. Topics covered include law review articles and student notes, seminar term papers, how to shift from research to writing, citation-checking others’ work, publishing, and publicizing written works. This edition adds examples drawn from successful student notes, coupled with detailed explanations of what makes the examples effective and how they could have been made still more effective. It also elaborates on how one can research a topic more comprehensively than is usually done.
