This class will meet for eight Wednesdays during the semester. Dates will be determined at a later time.

The first class will be a lecture/demonstration on how creative writing can aid and abet legal writing.

We will critique one another’s writings every week (both on-line and in class). All students must write. Students afflicted with writer’s block or unreliable Internet connections should not take this course. Reliable email service is essential. The class web site will run on Blackboard. All students should be familiar with the usual process of accessing, reviewing, and posting material to a Blackboard site.
