    Dear Colleagues,

    West Librarian Relations invites you to share your expertise in teaching
    legal research and writing!

    Perspectives: Teaching Legal Research and Writing is a journal for legal
    writing and legal research instructors and law librarians that reaches
    an audience of 5,800+ subscribers. Published three times a year,
    Perspectives provides a forum for discussing the teaching of legal
    research and writing, with a focus on tools, techniques, and theories.
    The journal encourages collaboration among librarians and law faculty
    who are teachers of legal research and writing.

    Perspectives serves a varied audience including new librarians and new
    faculty; adjunct faculty; experienced teachers; and writing specialists
    at law schools, law firms, and courts. We welcome articles that explain
    a teaching technique, examine how teaching decisions affect learning
    outcomes, or explore best practices in teaching. Regular columns cover
    curricular design, making the most of teachable moments, technology for
    teaching, research matters, writing tips, and book reviews.

    Recent articles have examined the use of wikis as a teaching and
    learning tool; insights from clinical teaching; drafting engaging
    appellate advocacy problems; the research value of thesauri; the use of
    ongoing student-to-faculty feedback; research and writing
    collaborations; how to create online tutorials; and the basics of
    foreign law research.

    issues and our Author's Guide and Style Sheet, which includes submission
    instructions. Questions may be directed to me or to the Editor: Mary
