SUMMARY:Logic & Opinion Writing (JS 621)
DESCRIPTION:Why should I take this course?\n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\nThis course invites judges to more carefully and thoroughly examine  the underlying principles of logical reasoning as applied to their  decision-making and opinion-writing. Judicial writing is often as  important as the determinations. Opinions should serve as a reasoned  statement that justifies the outcome judges have reached. \n\n\n\nThis course is designed for any judge\, judicial officer\, law clerk\, \nor court-affiliated staffperson who must appraise the soundness of \narguments presented to them and want to improve their legal writing \nskills. \n\n\n\nWho are the members of the faculty?\n\n\n\nThe faculty consists of a philosophy professor who is also an \nattorney and a nationally recognized judicial writing instructor with \nexperience in crafting judicial opinions. \n\n\n\nHow is this course taught?\n\n\n\nThe class is conducted through presentations\, extensive class \ndiscussion and writing exercises. You will be asked to submit an opinion\n for review and analysis. Pre-course materials will be available via \nemail for you to complete approximately six weeks prior to the course \nstart date. Please plan to set aside approximately two to four hours of \ntime to review and complete materials prior to the course. \n\n\n\nWhat should I tell my presiding judge or funding agency so that my attendance will be approved?\n\n\n\nA judge must evaluate legal argumentation in its many forms because \nit lies at the heart of the judging craft. The validity of arguments in \nbriefs\, memoranda\, and oral presentations often depend upon the logical \ncomponents. Even a rudimentary understanding of logic will enable a \njudge to perform more effectively and save time in legal analysis. \nFurther\, judges must frequently write opinions. This course will assist \njudges in analyzing and solving troublesome difficulties that they may \nencounter in preparing and writing an opinion. \n\n\n\nWhom should I contact for more information?\n\n\n\n.For more information\, please contact the Registrar’s Office at (800) 255-8343 or registrar@judges.org.
