Writing matters—in the classroom, in the workplace, and in the law.
April 27, 2018 -- Please note that the Legal Writing Center is now closed for the semester and will reopen in August 2018 once classes resume. If you would like assistance with your writing during the summer, please contact Prof. Diamond (cdiamond@ubalt.edu).
Currently enrolled UB law students may visit the School of Law's new Legal Writing Center for one-on-one assistance with a UB Writing Fellow on any writing assignment in law school if permitted by the student's professor. If you are an accomplished writer or somebody who is just getting comfortable with legal writing, we welcome you to seek feedback on your writing. You may bring any substantive writing to the Legal Writing Center, including memos and letters, seminar papers, advocacy papers such as court memoranda and briefs, and writing samples for job interviews. Our Writing Fellows are available for appointments during a variety of times—contact us to schedule your consultation to get started on revising your work!

Please note: Writing Fellows are not experts in substantive legal issues. Accordingly, they will be unable to comment on the accuracy of your paper's substance. In addition, if a Writing Fellow's advice contradicts instructions you have received from your professor, you are responsible for clarifying with your professor on how best to proceed.
