There should be seminars that let you do legal writing. I chose a seminar where we wrote two short motions, and it was in the practice area I wanted to go into. They became my writing samples.

Avoid the academic masturbatory exercise if you can.

It's because law professors are academics, who succeed or fail in their careers based on their academic writing, and offer the seminars as an academic enterprise. If you want something practical look for advanced research/writing courses or courses taught by adjuncts.

Yeah, they are sort of neither fish nor fowl.

Thanks, I didn't really understand what a seminar was about I guess... The syllabus says to write a research paper (sounds great/interesting), but the prof says it should be a student note (not so great/interesting). I wish I had picked a different seminar now... oh well... thanks again for clarifying!
