Professor Renee Allen has been elected to serve on the Legal Writing Institute board.  The Legal Writing Institute (LWI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving legal communication by supporting the development of teaching and scholarly resources and establishing forums to discuss the study, teaching, and practice of professional legal writing.

The LWI Board of Directors establishes LWI’s policies and priorities, and Board members contribute to the planning and operation of LWI’s publications, projects, events, conferences, and workshops. The Board works closely with more than 20 committees made up of volunteer LWI members to carry out these initiatives. Board members serve four-year terms, with about half the members elected every two years.

Professor Allen’s term will start at the LWI biennal conference in DC this summer. She will serve for four years.
