Critical Theory and Legal Writing – Macon, GA

The Southeast Regional Legal Writing Conference, Opening the Lens: Re-Visions in Legal Writing Teaching, Theory, & Practice, will be hosted by Mercer Law April 15-16, 2011. Proposals are due Jan. 21, 2011.

This two-day conference will explore interdisciplinary theories and practice perspectives, encouraging participants to look again at their teaching, scholarship, and service.

Our opening colloquium, featuring internationally known law and society scholar Martha Albertson Fineman, will illustrate the use of feminist and other critical theories to enrich legal writing teaching and scholarship.

The first day’s presentations will focus attention on critical theory and critical rhetorical analysis; the second day’s workshops will examine theory and experience as resources for teaching.
