“[L]egal writing courses teach key practical skills, together with analytical skills, that add both relevance and breadth to the law curriculum. As such, legal writing courses ought to enjoy the same significance, curricular importance, and institutional support as their doctrinal counterparts.”

David S. Romantz, The Truth about Cats and Dogs: Legal Writing Courses and the Law School Curriculum, 52 U. Kan. L. Rev. 105, 146 (2003).

If the faculty and administration at a law school get that, then resources follow. That is what is happening here now, and I’m very happy about it.
