I directed an appellate clinic for two years, and most recently I supervised two students who briefed and argued a case in the Washington State Supreme Court. These experiences have taught me some important lessons that I have brought back to my legal writing classes. The clinical cases have not only reminded me what writing for practice really entails, and how hard it is to follow our sage writing advice, but they have given me key insights into aspects of writing that we (or at least I) don't always address in first-year legal writing classes.In supervising students who are writing for a client, ethical dilemmas come up immediately, deadlines matter, and the faculty member has to be product-oriented. The final product is important in a way that the final product of a legal writing assignment is not. We are forced to follow a piece of writing all the way through to the end and make sure it is right. Collaboration has to work. And in the end, when we realize the outcome of our efforts, we come face-to-face with our limitations. This last lesson, the limitations of “good” writing, is one of the most important lessons I learned from directing a clinic.","PeriodicalId":416511,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Legal Scholarship Education (LSN) (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130502369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case also introduces students to some key differences between buying real estate as an investment versus buying real estate as a primary residence. Specifically, buyers of a home are afforded the opportunity to opt out before closing in the event (1) there has been a “major change in the project” (HRS §514B-87) or (2) they no longer “qualify” for the purchase of the home. In this sense, the prospective purchasers effectively hold a call option on the property. One interesting departure from traditional financial option theory is that the buyers have a way – albeit both potentially unethical and fraudulent – to get their premium back if they decide not to invest. This potential benefit results from (1) a loose contract provision that may be upheld by common law on a case by case basis, or (2) through the willingness of the buyer and a lender to commit what the courts might interpret as fraud. All information employed in this case is based upon an actual land purchase decision, though some specifics have been altered slightly for both illustrative purposes and to retain the anonymity of various parties to the transaction.","PeriodicalId":416511,"journal":{"name":"EduRN: Legal Scholarship Education (LSN) (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121265440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
