Announcing New LSN Subject Matter Abstracting eJournals
We are pleased to announce a new sponsor for the Legal Scholarship Network's (LSN) Legal Writing eJournal, as well as two new LSN Subject Matter Abstracting eJournals -- Education Law, sponsored by Michigan State University College of Law, and Sexuality and the Law.
LEGAL WRITING
The Legal Writing journal is now sponsored by the Legal Writing Institute, a nonprofit corporation whose purpose is to exchange ideas about legal writing and to provide a forum for research and scholarship about legal writing and legal analysis. The journal provides a forum for posting both completed works and works in progress that relate to all issues in the legal writing field. The journal seeks articles that cover topics including effective ways to teach legal writing; the doctrine of legal writing and lawyering, including persuasive and effective techniques; legal research; oral communication and advocacy; and other related topics to legal writing.
