Three of Boston University's Legal Writing and Research Seminars

A New York City-based trial attorney with 25 years of legal experience, David Bordoni most recently served as a partner at Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman and Dicker. Prior to beginning his career, David Bordoni obtained a juris doctor from the Boston University School of Law. Established in 1872, the Boston University School of Law is New England’s third-oldest law school. In addition to its regular courses, the institution offers the following legal writing and research seminars for students. 1. Advanced Legal Writing & Editing Workshop - This interactive seminar involves actors who perform a scenario, following which students are required to draft an interoffice memo to a non-lawyer client utilizing pertinent facts from the scenario. There's also a peer review component. 2. Judicial Writing - The Judicial Writing seminar prompts students to draft bench briefs and other documents generally written by judges and law clerks. Class discussions, meanwhile, emphasize the relationship between a law clerk and judge as well as the role of judges and how their opinions affect the legal system. 3. Persuasive Writing - Students meet one on one with instructors to discuss and rework documents of a persuasive nature. These include statements pertaining to a case and memos in support of a motion. Moreover, students peer-edit their classmates' papers.

Two edited pitches for the week 9 workshop activity

These are two pitches from the week 9 class that I’ve edited (one after the other). Probably the most significant edit I made was the re-framing of the shots. The original camera frame was too large with excessive blank space around the presenters. In post, I zoomed these shots in to give the viewer a more intimate shot of the presenter and their expressions. The downside of this is the inevitable loss of quality on the shot, but I feel the change was justified. I added clip from the scenes they were referring to give a more dynamic and engaging presentation, and also to cover cuts in the video. I’d like to have cut out further Ums and Errs but I feel like two many cutaways would have given the clip a jumpy, choppy feel.

I had difficulty with the audio, as the second pitch didn’t have better quality audio from the zoom and so is using the camera audio. I also don’t have decent enough editing software to clean up the audio without distorting the quality. I also had problems with how quickly David spoke, so some of the cuts are not as neat as the could be.

I chose these two pitches because I felt they were reasonably clearly spoken and articulated and gave opportunity to include relevant cutaways.
