I would say this is a very good legal writing seminar; it would also be useful for paralegals too. Good explanations, escp. abouty tricky citations and chosing styles for the litigation or case or client letter

Professor Whitney does a good job with a difficult topic. Over the years, I have generally been disappointed with the quality of legal writing, so maybe everyone should sign up for Professor Whitney's course.
