Conference Information:
The LWI Board of Directors has selected the Marco Island Marriott
Beach Resort for the site of the 2010 Biennial Conference and appointed
the Conference Site Committee to begin planning the conference. The
Resort is located on three miles of pristine Southwest Florida beaches.
With over 225,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space, a
full-service event planning staff, several renowned restaurants,
championship golf, a world-class spa, and a wide range of activities and
amenities, the Resort seemed like an ideal setting for the first LWI
Conference to be held at a non-campus site. The impressive meeting
space, beach location, and affordable accommodations should entice
members to not only attend the 2010 Conference but also to combine it
with a family vacation, especially since the LWI special rates have been
extended to before and after the conference dates. For more information
about the Resort, please visit the resort's website: www.marcoislandmarriott.com
The conference website is now open! Go to http://indylaw.indiana.edu/LWIconference/.

Past One-Day workshops
December 2, 2011
The Legal Writing Institute is holding one-day workshops for writing
faculty and law librarians on Friday, December 2, 2011. There are 13
locations to choose from. The program in Minnesota will include an
afternoon field trip to West Publishing. The programs at the other
locations will include common themes around the following topics: (1)
teaching legal writing; (2) teaching persuasive writing and advocacy;
(3) legal research; and (4) other innovative teaching techniques. Those
who attend find the programs to be extremely valuable. We recommend
them for all writing faculty and law librarians. We strongly encourage
adjunct professors to attend as well as those who are seeking to become
legal writing professors.
Registration links for each location are listed below. Each
registration site contains contact information for each location as well
