POL 444 - Legal Research and Writing (3)This course involves students developing the skills needed to find, read, and analyze legal sources to engage in a variety of different forms of legal writing for different types of legal audiences. Students will learn research methodologies as they develop and produce their own research paper, in addition to learning to write objective legal memoranda, opinion letters, and persuasive appellate briefs. This will culminate with students writing their own research paper on a legal topic of their choosing. The skills students will develop in this course will provide a great advantage to students hoping to attend law school or work in the legal profession, as well as provide basic guidance in how to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information. For students not interested in law school, this class still offers the benefit of learning how to access and understand legal information, write for various audiences, and conduct their own independent research.
