A number of well - written articles chronicle at least some of the history of legal writing in the
law school curriculum.1 However, those articles were written
with a different purpose in mind: the authors sought to employ history to show the pedigree of legal writing and argue for an equal place in the curriculum
with doctrinal
courses and an equal position for its teachers
with other «case - book» faculty.2 Because of this purpose, they understandably focused a large part of their historical narrative on legal writing in the «modern
law -
school,» an entity that has existed only since the late 1800s.3 The articles paid considerably less attention to the era that preceded it, beyond brief mentions of the Inns of Court in England, apprenticeship in America, and the private
law schools and early attempts at

with a simple cry for help from a client; (ii) in my experience at
law schools — and it may be different now — almost all research was done in the context of litigation or moots and, while that's obviously an important focus, it's not the only one; and, perhaps the most important factor, (iii) the lawyers who give the students work far too often ask the student to «find a case» — this is almost universal focus of litigators — and are uninterested in either context or principle.

Several
law schools have experimented
with introducing foreign and international issues into basic LRW instruction.68 Some have responded to these arguments by creating either upper - class elective seminars
with a global LRW focus, 69 or by creating a specialized foreign / international section of the basic LRW
course.70 Typically, this has been accomplished in a largely ad hoc fashion through the creative efforts of individual instructors, who sometimes offer a special «international» section of the basic LRW
course.71 Additionally, LRW professors whose primary responsibility is to educate foreign students have naturally gravitated toward incorporating global dimensions in their problems and assignments.72 Faculty specializing in teaching legal English have observed that English is increasingly the language of choice for transnational negotiations and legal instruments, even in circumstances where the underlying transactions do not involve Anglo - American
