How can I learn to write like a law school student?

Answer by  justme21 (130)

The best thing you can do is study and practice! First, start by reading some books, articles and papers by law students or lawyers. Read a variety of things. Then, start writing! No one writes like a pro the first time they try, so don't give up!
