This article contains my thoughts on the legal system that I think needs to change.
I have been studying the Texas tech law for a year and a half. When I began, I was pretty much just looking for a way to make a living teaching law (which I did for a short while as a part-time professor). I was very fortunate to be hired by a great law firm in Houston to teach my law classes and have been able to do that with an incredible group of people who know exactly what they are doing.
I am also a lawyer, but I also spend a lot of my time writing and editing articles. I have been a part of the legal community for over 25 years and have been teaching legal writing for over ten years. I have always believed that the best way to teach is to teach by example. So I think the best way to teach someone is to illustrate their own examples by making them write something they can copy and paste into a legal document or a website.
texastechlaw is a blog and it only takes you one or two paragraphs to illustrate the principles behind the texas law.
I love the idea behind texastechlaw and hope it helps you teach your students better. I do have a couple of legal writing questions myself though so be sure to check out the texastechlaw blog.
The blog is full of examples of how different types of legal documents can be easily taught with a short writing assignment. It’s particularly useful for the law students because they’re all on the same team, and since they’re all on the same team they can collaborate on the writing assignments. I like the idea of having a team that can collaborate over writing projects because I find that to be extremely helpful for my own writing and learning process.
If you’re a Texastech Law student and you want to be an attorney, then you absolutely should check out the blog.
The main reason I think we should check out the blog is because it takes a lot of the pressure off of you from actually having to write your own paper. You are not writing a paper for a judge or an examiner, you are not writing for a professor, and youre not writing to an audience that is going to give you feedback. It is for you. The blog is for you, so that you can write in a way that you feel comfortable writing.
Because of the nature of the blog, you can write about law and law-related topics in a way that is more personal and more effective. By writing a law paper for your law school advisor, a law professor, or a legal publication, and then publishing a blog post about it, you are taking the pressure off of you. You have no reason to worry about whether you have a good paper or not, because the blog is for you.
The blog is a place where people can express their thoughts about legal topics, without worrying that some other person is going to be watching. I do believe the blog makes you a better lawyer because you will be able to express yourself more freely.
