Dear New #1Ls,
You are probably taking a course called #LegalWriting, Legal Practice, or Legal Analysis.
You may be thinking "I know how to write" or "I can sneak by this one" or "I'll just focus on other classes."
On day 1, I was like you.
Pro Tip: Don't be me.

1/ So much of #1L year is learning to "think like a lawyer."
This course (full disclosure: I teach it at @GeorgetownLaw) introduces you how to write, read, analyze, research, and act like a lawyer (and some thinking too).
Do those skills sound important? They are.

2/ It is essential to know what the law "says" and how the law got to where it did. But in law school and in practice if you cannot communicate that analysis in a way that legal readers (or other legal audience) expects all that hard work is wasted.
