Welcome to the Legal Writing Scholarship Project. Linda Edwards, Professor of Law at Mercer University Law School, and Terry Pollman, Associate Professor of Law at the William S. Boyd School of Law at University of Nevada Las Vegas seek to create and maintain a list of publications by teachers of Legal Writing and Rhetoric. After we have worked with the list of scholarship created by legal writing professionals, we hope to publish it, along with brief commentary on legal writing scholarship. After publication , we plan to turn the list over to the Association of Legal Writing Directors to post on their website and to maintain the growing list.
