(2016)
Abstract
At Widener Law Commonwealth, the legal writing program organizes itself around best practices for the students and, also, best practices for the professors. Rather than catalog the innovative approaches that set our program and pedagogy apart from others, this article focuses on two central ideas and guiding principles for producing happy students and happy professors: 1) using live critiquing to provide feedback on assignments and 2) encouraging cooperative work among legal writing faculty.
