Central States Conference |
Several of our legal writing faculty presented at the Central States Legal Writing Conference, debating whether enforcing a professor’s personal preferences in student writing is rigorous or whether it is more rigorous to force students to choose their own preferences in writing. While we all agreed to disagree on which practice is more rigorous, there is no disagreement that we had a great time and learned a lot from our fantastic legal writing colleagues across the country who also presented at Central States.
