Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we’re talking about setting yourself up to write a great seminar paper or journal note.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why selecting the right topic is probably the most important step in the writing process
- How to productively engage with your professors, your mentors, and even your law librarians about your topic selection and your writing
- Where to look for good topics that won’t bore you (and your readers) to death
- The pros and cons of writing about circuit splits
- How to balance finding an original topic with existing authority
- Our own note and seminar paper problems – learn from our mistakes!
Thanks for listening!
