We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

There was a really good article that I had read in my first year. Can't seem to remember the name of the author; but perhaps it was this:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228205112_Logic_for_Law_Students_How_to_Think_Like_a_Lawyer
Will confirm later if it was indeed this or some other. Regardless, this too is a very good article that every law student NEEDS TO read.
Besides this, whatever teaches you to write better. Not sure if there's anything that can explain those principles well. Perhaps the book "Plain English for Lawyers", but I don't think that's as necessary in the first year itself.
