		<description>Brett,

Thanks for staring this discussion. During a lunch some folks at LSA in Berlin talked about ways to have law school classes provide more interaction and feedback during a semester. Having several writing events came up as a possibility. One issue that you may want to address is anonymity or not for the students. Will they know whose work they are reading? The nature of the class discussion may lend itself to knowing, but one might use a random number generator and assign numbers to keep the reviews blind or semi-blind. My old firm, Quinn Emanuel, was ruthless about writing but also fair in that even as a first year I felt comfortable editing and commenting even on a name partner&#039;s brief. Students, however, may not have concerns and fears about peers looking at their work. It is something to overcome, but at the classroom stage anonymous review may have benefits.</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t done this, Brett, though it seems like a great idea.
One thing occurs to me: I think lots of legal writing profs have students comment on other students&#039; writing.  Perhaps it worth checking in with some of them for tips ...</description>

		<description>When I did this, my main challenge was to get students to provide each other more substantive feedback rather than comments just on grammar and bluebooking.  You can see my approach at http://www.ericgoldman.org/Courses/copyright/2006copyrightsyllabus.pdf  Eric.</description>
