ATTN: 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students

Professors Morath and Schiavone are interested in your thoughts on legal writing!  They will be conducting an anonymous survey of upper level students who have completed both LARW I & LARW II. The data will be used in an empirical paper to be published in the near future.

The surveys will be distributed on Thursday November 15, 2012 during two sessions, so that both day and evening students can participate.  Surveys will be conducted in W-210 from 12:15-1:15 p.m. and again in Room 167 from 5:15-6:15 p.m.  The survey should take about 20 minutes to complete.
