Legal Writing! Woo!

My first thought when I picked up my graded memo was, “Wow, look at all the comments!” I was so relieved to finally get some feedback that it didn’t occur to me that lots of marking up equals lots of things I messed up. As soon my brain made that connection, though, I flipped to the back page, where I saw that I got…

…a pass. Of course. That’s what I had expected, but, looking back over it, I maybe should have been a little more worried about my grade. My writing wasn’t nearly as good as I remembered it being. Note to self: give yourself an extra day to go over your next memo, and stop using one-sentence paragraphs.

    i wrote an epic one paragraph sentence with semicolons and parentheticals and citations all jammed together and my legal writing prof said “it’s just like a judge’s opinion!” and i raised my arms up in victory and said “yes!!” but she said “uh that isn’t a good thing”

    That’s awesome. You obviously have a higher calling than mere attorney. I suggest that from now on you refuse to discuss the casebook readings on the grounds that the decisions are not compatible with your personal theory of jurisprudence. If anyone presses you on it, tell them to wait till your treatise comes out (probably next summer sometime).

    I mean, that’s what I’d do.
