Abstract

Each fall, I begin the process of evaluating and commenting on student memos, providing formative feedback that messages the expectations of a busy, doubting legal reader. Most students quickly learn that the revising process can take longer, and at times be more daunting, that the original drafting process. A reverse outline can help respond to cognitive process obstacles that plague writers during the revising process.
