Writing Workshop
On Friday, Dec. 5, the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law hosted a Legal Writing Institute Workshop with the topic “Reaching, Teaching, and Employing Today’s Evolving Law Student.” The event took place at the UDM Law campus in downtown Detroit and was co-hosted by University of Windsor Faculty of Law. Among those taking part in the workshop were (l-r) Ruth Kuras, Karen Henning, Julie St. John, Cristina Lockwood, Deborah Paruch, Pamela Lysaght, UDM Law Dean Phyllis Crocker, Michelle Richards, Pam Wilkins, and Cara Warren. The conference provided a forum for educators and practitioners to better understand today’s evolving law students and to discuss how teachers, employers, and students might change in order to keep pace with this evolution but also stay true to legitimate legal discourse and community expectations. Also during the workshop, UDM Law Professor Pamela Lysaght received an award presented by UDM Law Dean Phyllis Crocker for her many years of dedicated service to the legal writing community.
