Legal Research and Writing Workshop (27 Jan to 29 Jan): Early Bird Registrations till 21 January

About The Workshop

Law universities expect high-quality legal writing but do not teach how to do it. If you wish to learn legal research and writing from an experienced legal researcher and writer with teaching experience at the University of Oxford, NLSIU Bangalore, and Jindal Global Law School, this workshop is for you.

Over the course of five hours of live teaching and discussion you will learn how to:

1. Explore your areas of interest and find a topic to write about 
2. Research the topic across primary and secondary sources
3. Find your voice and develop your argument 
4. Elevate the quality of your writing by perfecting form and structure
5. Set a publishing target and achieve it

Each participant will receive written feedback from the instructor on an 800-1,000 word draft at the end of the workshop.

This workshop is ideal for law students (at any stage of their studies), law professionals, and non-law students interested in legal writing. No preparation or writing experience is required.
