This unique and interactive text is an essential component of any legal writing class for foreign LL.M. students. The written text is supplemented by an easily customized Westlaw TWEN website that contains course materials, sample exercises, and a suggested syllabus. Using this text gives students the opportunity to analyze a specific client's legal problem by engaging the same critical analysis of the primary and secondary legal authorities that a U.S. lawyer would. Students learn to recognize how legal scholars, judges, and practicing lawyers engage in effective common law analysis.

The authors and West provide faculty with critical online technical and substantive support.
