Dear 1L, It’s ridiculous that you have to write your first legal brief without more individual guidance.

How I hate how my hands have been tied. Alas—

I have created a new self-editing checklist for you.

It includes the 40 most common mistakes I’ve seen 1Ls make over the past 5 years since I’ve been reviewing these briefs after-the-fact, and the items included cover the major points I would otherwise be helping you with individually.

I hope you will find it helpful!

I am rooting for you from here, always.

💌 Amanda
