The Writing Resource Center, located on the fourth floor of the Boyd Law Building, serves as an extension of the classroom and of the small-section writing program. The WRC is staffed by a director whose PhD work centered on the teaching of writing; by lawyers pursuing or recently having completed MFA degrees in the Writers Workshop; and by upper-level law students. The center provides one-on-one tutorial assistance for writers working on course assignments, journal articles, writing samples, and the like. Students come to the center by recommendation of faculty members or through self-referrals and are able to gain help with rhetorical, stylistic, and grammatical concerns that arise in their writing. Additionally, members of the staff work with students on general writing improvement and on strategies for dealing with everything from overcoming writer’s block to adapting material for various audiences. Typically, more than two-thirds of all first-year students and more than one-third of all law students make use of the Writing Resource Center in any given year.
