Columbia Law School's Writing Group
Writ is a student group at Columbia
University School of Law
in New York, formed at the beginning of the spring semester of the academic
year 2000-2001. The group consists of law students who write fiction,
poetry, prose and various other genres. Once a week, we meet to workshop
stories, poems, memoirs, and other writings by individual group members.
Workshopping entails reading the particular work prior to a given meeting
and offering the author feedback at the meeting. In this way, Writ
encourages law students to continue writing while in law school, and provides
constructive criticism to help our members hone their skills.
