doctrine that guides
legal writers

In Justice Stratas's view, judges and academics too often take a results - oriented approach to the law, rather than rigorously applying

in their peripheral vision, but they lose some of the
legal writing
doctrine from the first assignment by the first draft of the second.2

By integrating writing and
doctrine in the first semester, we are sending a message to our students, at outset of their
legal education, that there is no real divide between analyzing
legal doctrine and the writing that communicates that analysis.54 By writing within a doctrinal context, students are able to see the ways
in which the law and how it is structured influence their writing choices.55 Moreover, students tend to develop a deeper understanding of the connected doctrinal course because of the writing that occurs
in that doctrinal area.56 Thus a number of the benefits that result from integrating the two courses arise from the synergies that come from teaching both courses together.57 What follows are some specific synergies that I have observed
