CORE 914 Legal Analysis, Research and Writing II (2) LARW II continues to build on the skills learned in LARW I. Students continue to analyze clients' problems using various sources of legal authority, to use additional research sources, and to further refine their writing style. However, LARW II focuses on persuasive writing, so students will learn to draft documents that are submitted to a court called "briefs" or "memoranda of law." Students also will learn to present an oral argument to a court. LARW II continues to implement the problem-solving approach to teach persuasive writing, and students continue to receive individualized feedback throughout the course.
