Although my major is Professional and Technical Writing, it is not my career plan. I am planning to attend law school in the fall of 2027. I chose this major because I believed that it would help me prepare to write legal documents, grants, and proposals. I understand that my talents as a writer are likely to give me advantages throughout my career as an attorney. With this in mind, I would like my topic for this class to surround legal documents in some capacity. I think I will begin by diving into the writing of case briefs as a way to introduce myself to the language. I am not positive that this will lead me directly to my topic, but I believe that it will give me a great starting point. Once I have given some time to briefs, I plan to look into the writing of motions, petitions, & NDA's. My plan is to look at multiple formats of legal language until I find the one that interests me the most.
