Description: One of the many hats an attorney often wears after their first year of practice is that of a supervisor of other people’s work. From summer law clerks to paralegals to more junior associates, mid-level and senior attorneys routinely review drafts of those more junior to them and must provide feedback that will guide the writer’s efforts on subsequent drafts with the goal of creating a sophisticated and polished final product.
While most supervisors know that simply writing “good” or “awkward” in the margins isn’t helpful, few have developed a specific strategy for providing junior writers with effective feedback. And even those with the best intentions often feel a tension between wanting to provide feedback that will help the writer improve and wanting to rewrite the document to get it out the door as quickly as possible given tight deadlines and competing assignments.
This popular and practical class draws on recent cognitive science research into the way our brains receive feedback, and presents a wide range of concrete, deployable tips and strategies to help supervisors provide junior legal writers with efficient, helpful, and content-rich written feedback that motivates improvement.
