Writing Help
Peer Review
Purpose
Studying can be easy to delay when the purpose of your efforts remain unclear. Let me offer some clarity. Admissions officers have, for some time, demanded from LSAC a new approach to the writing sample. Ever heard of the GRE's analytical writing section? With respect to the GRE and LSAT, I think it safe to liken the two. This means that your ability to construct arguments, inject your perspective, and command the English language will be scrutinized among other things.
Effect
It's probably safe for you to conclude that a terrible LSAT score and terrible GPA will not be saved by a great writing sample. However, in a pool of thousands of applicants with competitively similar high GPAs and LSAT results, it's possible that an exemplary writing sample result will distinguish you from the crowd.
What won't it do?
What it will do.
For the most part, the evidence which supports the arguments you'll make are known to LSAC because they constructed them. Of course, your worldview will influence your interpretation and deployment of them, and it should. Unless you reference some fact that simple doesn't exist, we won't focus on verifying. We take a similar approach with semantics. Sometimes how we say something can get in the way of what we're saying. If something is difficult to read, it probably requires editing, otherwise it's good.
The help will be specific to building arguments in writing under time pressure. After tutoring, you will have some of the tools needed to become an efficient and effective writer. In the end, persuasive writing takes years to master. You become better from reading and from practice. So please, please practice.
