Law to Fact

Writing a Law School Scholarly Article


Listen Later

In this episode...
We speak with Sarah Morath, Clinical Associate Professor, Director of Lawyering Skills and strategies at The University of Houston Law Center, about drafting a scholarly article.  Most law schools have an upper-level writing requirement.  Expert Sarah Morath provides valuable insights to help you get the job done right!!

Some key takeaways...

  1. Scholarly articles must have a legal "so what."  Be careful not to write an undergraduate thesis.
  2. Footnotes for law review articles are different from those in a memorandum of law or appellate brief.  Use the main part of the Bluebook for reference.
  3. Pick a topic that interests you, you will be with the topic for a long time.
