    We expect our students to write law review notes and other publishable articles as independent study or directed research projects. Yet, by and large, law schools and law faculty provide few incentives (other than course credit, degree requirement fulfillment, and scholarship award recognition) and little training (other than some one-on-one guidance and feedback from faculty advisors). Is there more that we can do to help our students see the value in legal scholarship and learn academic legal writing, while supplementing more broadly their legal research and writing education? Related, but separately, can we help educate our students — and help advance our own scholarship — by co-writing articles with our students, something that is regularly done in other disciplines?  This panel will explore both of these questions.
