Professor Desnoyer Receives LWI Emerging Scholar Award
04/29/2022
IU McKinney Professor Brad Desnoyer has received the 2022 Emerging Scholar Award from the Legal Writing Institute (LWI). He is receiving the honor for his law review article titled: “E-Memos 2.0: An Empirical Study of How Attorneys Write,” which was published in 2021 in Legal Writing: The Journal of the Legal Writing Institute.
In the article, Professor Desnoyer builds on the existing scholarship recognizing that email is now a practicing lawyer’s primary means of communicating legal analysis and this means that the legal writing classroom should offer students training on how to draft effective E-memos.
The LWI board created this award in 2019 to help foster a new generation of scholars in the field. The award is limited to a professor’s first or second full-length, published article on legal writing or pedagogy.
