For more than 20 years, Seattle University School of Law has set the standard for legal writing programs. Seattle University was one of the first law schools to establish a three-year legal writing curriculum, to use the process approach to teaching legal writing, and to have a full-time writing advisor.
A recognized national leader, Seattle University's legal writing program is known for its innovative, practice-oriented legal writing curriculum and its cutting edge use of teaching technology.
In 1984, Seattle University legal writing faculty founded the Legal Writing Institute. The LWI has grown into a 1,600+ member organization that works to foster the development of legal writing in law schools across the country and in numerous foreign countries. The School of Law was the home of the LWI from 1984-2003, and it has hosted more national conferences devoted to legal writing than any other law school in the country.
