International Student Writing Support Program
The International Student Writing Support (ISWS) Program provides one-on-one assistance to students in the Law School for whom English is not a native language. This program is intended to support both J.D. students and those students enrolled in the LL.M. program.
A teaching assistant specialized in legal writing and ESL (English as a Second Language) is available to meet with students to discuss their writing assignments and written work. Students are invited to come to office hours with specific questions regarding:
- Structuring and organizing ideas
- Using accurate English grammar and word choice
- Writing clearly and concisely
- Applying proofreading strategies
- Understanding the essential elements of American legal writing
Teaching assistant Holly Overgaard will hold office hours every Monday from 9:00-11:00 and every Thursday from 11:00-1:00 in room N229. She can also be reached at over0196@umn.edu to schedule individual meeting times. |
