Brief-writing and Appellate Advocacy Seminar
This seminar will be devoted to the art of brief-writing and appellate advocacy. Topics will include how to select the best arguments, how to choose a theme and structure the facts and the argument, and how to write the brief in a way that it is clear, concise and persuasive on the first read. Grades will be based on class participation and two papers -- an opening brief and a reply.Spring 2013Michele Odorizzi
