About the Legal Writing Institute

The Legal Writing Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving legal writing by providing a forum for discussion and scholarship about legal writing, analysis, and research. LWI promotes these activities through its publications, workshops, specialty conferences, and the national biennial conferences held in even-numbered years. Our next conference will be June 27-30, 2010, at Marco Island, Florida.

Only the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) involves more members of the legal academic community.
