Writing Sample Question? Using excerpts from two things?
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2011 12:35 pm
I spent my summer working for a small law firm and while I got a lot of experience doing things like drafting discovery/complaints I didn't do a ton of writing. However, I did write what my boss called a "pocket brief" for a criminal trial. It was basically a two and a half page argument about a very narrow legal issue that the judge had reserved judgment on from the day before. Now this obviously is not long enough to be a writing sample, but I was thinking about using a combination of that and an excerpted piece from the brief I wrote for my LRW class as a writing sample.
Thoughts?
edit:: The reason I want this is because I do really like the work i did for the trial, I think it reflects some of my best work.
