Forwarded to law-lib for Prof. Jan M. Levine, Director of Legal
Writing, Univ. of Arkansas School of Law, Fayetteville, AR.
This notice is being cross-posted to DIRCON95, LEGWRI-L, LAWPROF, and
WPA-L. I apologize for any duplication.
On July 28-29, 1995, the first national conference of legal writing
directors took place in San Diego. Titled "The Politics of Legal
Writing," the conference was co-sponsored by West Publishing Company
and the California Western School of Law.
Over 100 directors attended from about 90 law schools. The group
voted to create a formal organization of legal writing program
directors, and a steering committee was established to work on by-
laws and plan future conferences. The subcommittee charged with
exploring options for structures and drafting by-laws is chaired
by Professor Richard Neumann of Hofstra University School of Law. The
group will continue their efforts on the DIRCON95 discussion list,
and the steering committee will meet in January 1996 at the AALS Mid-
Year Meeting in San Antonio. The conference proceedings will be
published by West in the near future.

Arkansas School of Law, Fayetteville, AR 72701; tele. 501-575-
