[blindLaw] research and writing

[miguel casillas]

Hi Paige,
What an odd way to structure an LRW course. What law school do you
attend? Are you using a platform like canvas? I think for us they just
threw bluebooks and casebooks at us as everything was going online. The
only thing I'd suggest is to request printed assignments without the game
portion. Or team up with a study buddy and let them handle that part.
Best of luck,
Miguel
