So we had a closed memo for "practice" awhile back, and now we have been assigned an open memo. That and regular law school work and other life things have been sucking up my time as of late.
The open memo. Blah. So much confusion and unease. Half the people I talk to (or more) seem to be pretty confident about what they're doing. The other half or so are playing their cards close to the chest. The closed memo didn't go particularly well for me. Writing isn't really my thing (Law school may have been a poor choice!).
So, uh, advice. Definitely start working on your open memos as soon as possible so that you can really take advantage of your TA's and your writing professor. I would suspect that they are much more willing to give you awesome advice if you show the gumption to get a draft done pretty early, or at least have your research and outline done early.
Considering that I decided to change the answer of my memo not long before it was due, I am definitely not a role model for any prospective law student. I can only hope future 1L's learn from my futility!
