There have been several studies indicating that student learning in the classroom
is greatly hampered by the use of computers. That has been my experience as
well. For that reason, I do not allow students to use computers in the classroom.

of student engagement. I know this may not sit well with some tech-obsessed
students, but I care most about your ability to comprehend complex material.

Legal Writing and Analysis
Spring 2009
Prof. Carroll
During the Class
In class you will practice and discuss writing, get feedback and answers to
your questions, learn new writing techniques, and, I hope, learn to relax while
working hard. Class time will include some lecture and discussion, a lot of
writing, and some reviewing of one another’s written work. You’ll
be writing in almost every class, and these in-class exercises will be written
under time pressure; you will not be expected to create a perfect, error-free
document within that time limit, but you should leave time to read over your
work so that obvious errors are corrected.
We will sometimes comment on each other’s writing as a group. When we
do so, the writer will be anonymous, and we will discuss the document in ways
that are not judgmental or demeaning to the writer. The goal of class comments
is to improve your legal writing through experience, not judge your ability.
Materials
Bring the following to every class:
Beyond the Basics (2d ed.), by Mary Barnard Ray and Barbara J. Cox.
Paper and pen or pencil, or if you are used to working on a laptop, bring
it to class.
Have access to the following when you read comments I’ve written on your
assignments, to prepare for class, and when working on take-home assignments:
Legal Writing: Getting it Right and Getting it Written, by Ray and Ramsfield
(4th ed.)
Later in the semester we will also be using, and you should purchase now and
be ready to bring to class:
Practicing Persuasive Written and Oral Advocacy – Case File I,
by Miller, Vitiello and Fontham
Between Classes
I encourage you to contact me if you have questions about an assignment. It
is best if you contact me by email -- carroll@shlaw.com
-- since then you don’t have to guess whether I’m at my office or
at home, and you’re likely to get the quickest answer. If necessary you
may call me at work, (619) 595-3216, or at home, (858) 459-4709. However, please
do not call between 9:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. (9:00 a.m. on weekends),
so you don’t wake anyone up. Also, if you try to call but don’t reach
me, you will do much better if you email me than you will by leaving
a telephone message, which I may not get until the next day.
