One of the leading peer-reviewed journals in the field, Legal Writing provides a forum for the publication of scholarly articles about the theory, substance, and pedagogy of legal writing.
"Legal writing is still a young academic discipline, but it has tremendous breadth and depth,” Ten Cate said. “Legal Writing has played a key role in developing the field, publishing pioneering scholarship about rhetoric and storytelling, including in judicial opinions and written and oral advocacy; legal reasoning; pedagogy; the legal academy; and the rise of generative artificial intelligence; among other subjects. I am honored and excited to lead the journal as it is approaching its 30th birthday."
Other professors at Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ are also actively involved in editing academic journals in the field of legal writing. Professor of Legal Writing Maria Termini, who is co-director of legal research and writing, also serves on the editorial board of Legal Writing.
