This course introduces fundamentals of legal reasoning and clear, structured writing. Participants learn to identify key issues, understand and restate relevant rules, apply those rules to specific facts, and reach logical, well-supported conclusions. Using practical examples, the session stresses how to organize ideas, write persuasively yet neutrally, and avoid common pitfalls. By the end of the class, participants will have the tools to think and write clearer reports, stronger analyses, and more defensible decisions.
