Room 49

Writing Center Office, Room 49

The Arizona Law Writing Center offers live and online writing support from peer tutors to students in all University of Arizona Law degree programs (B.A. in Law, JD, MLS, LLM, and SJD)

  • Get help at any stage in the writing process, from initial brainstorming to the final draft!
  • Work on writing assignments—from 1L memos to student notes to dissertations and beyond—for any class, publication, or extracurricular activity.
  • Collaborate with peer tutors to develop stronger legal-writing skills.

*The Arizona Law Writing Center cannot review any privileged, confidential, or work-product materials. Students seeking help with classwork should first consult the syllabus or professor to determine if they permit working with the Writing Center on the assignment. By seeking assistance from the Writing Center, you represent that the rules of the course or activity permit you to obtain that assistance and that the documents are not privileged or otherwise confidential.
