At HLS, students have excellent opportunities for writing in many different areas of the law and using a variety of different formats. Faculty members encourage student writing and are available to supervise students. The Written Work Requirement is a degree requirement for the JD and the LLM. JD and LLM students interested in doing additional writing beyond the requirement may choose to write optional papers for writing credit. JD and LLM students may participate in the Winter Writing Program in order to focus on a particular writing project.
