Graduate Lawyering Professor Karen Ross, invites you to participate in spring semester conversation groups. These will be informal gatherings at which we will discuss legal and non-legal topics; students will receive feedback on English conversation skills in a supportive environment.
Additionally, Professor Ross will offer Writing Workshops to provide students with an opportunity to practice their written English via short exercises, with a focus on word-choice and grammatical structure. All writing will take place during the workshop.
There are no outside assignments or grades in any of these sessions which are designed to support development of your English conversational and writing skills.
