TESTIMONIALS

"Ashley was not constrained by the styles of writing in our textbooks [but] drew on her experiences as a practicing attorney to show us better writing techniques and strategies. . . . I have been able to secure two 'top ten percent' positions with a 400+ New York law firm and the Securities and Exchange Commission respectively. I am certain that I secured these two positions . . . because of the writing samples I prepared during Ashley's legal writing classes. I received one call from an employ er who asked my permission to use my writing sample as a model for incoming associates in his law firm. In addition, because of my [writing] performance during the past summer, I have been invited to co-author legal articles that will be published by two major law firms this summer. I sincerely enjoyed learning from Ashley.... . She is an outstanding human being." Davi K.

"I increased my [state] specific score from a 121 to a 136, and I passed the bar this time! I can’t thank [Ashley] enough." David S.

"Thank you so so much Ashley! I know that your help had a lot to do with [my passing]. I was much more prepared and organized on the MPTs this time around" Alex K.

"I am so excited to report that I passed. Thanks to [Ashley] for all of [her] help!" Chiquita W.

"Ashley is an excellent writing instructor. [This summer, I am working] at [a] County District Attorney's Office, Appellate Division. [For this job], I was hand-selected from a pool of several hundred [applicants] because of the quality of my writing, which I attribute to Ms. Kane." John R.

"Prof. Kane was one of the best professors I had at [law school]. Despite her large class and workload, she was always available for individualized help. I was highly impressed with her depth of knowledge and vested interest in making sure my writing improved. . . . As a summer associate at [a large Atlanta law firm], I was told in my final summer review that my writing was excellent. I think this directly correlated to the excellent instruction I received under Professor Kane's tutelage. She was even available for questions over the summer when her duties as my professor had ended." Nate S.

"I felt lucky to have Ashley as my legal writing professor. Even though I was an editor of a student newspaper [during my undergraduate studies], at times I struggled with the transition to legal writing. Ashley provided us with the right balance of support and challenge, and I feel that I learned valuable skills that I will take into my job this summer." Amanda B.

"[Ashley was] not only a great legal writing instructor, but I don't know if I could have gotten through first year, or any part of law school, without [her] support, humor and advice. [She] has been my favorite teacher here." Chris H.

"Prof. Kane was an extremely effective instructor and communicator. Her practical knowledge of legal writing and her tremendous commitment to her students was always evident... I can say without hesitation that my legal writing improved markedly as a result of Prof. Kane's sharp pen and eye. . . . The law school will be hard pressed to replace her with someone of similar caliber and dedication." Daniel L.

"I am now officially finished with my second year at [law school]. . .[Ashley was] the best teacher I've had at [law school] and her class was my best memory of my 1L year." Ashleigh B.

"I feel so lucky that I had Ashley as one of my teachers during my first year of law school. . . . My writing improved over the year because Ashley took the time to thoroughly edit all of my papers and to meet with me and help me understand mistakes and make corrections. . . . I feel that she did and still does care about my success in law school and going forward." Miriam O.

"I want to express what a privilege it was to be in Professor Kane's legal writing class . . . . I received numerous compliments from attorneys I worked with during my first summer after law school. [Ashley] is a great teacher and a generous person who is eager to help students achieve their fullest potential. It was a real honor to be in her class." Tyler B.

"Ashley was a spectacular writing teacher, and I appreciated her support inside and outside the classroom. . . . I think our legal writing experience was simply better than any of [the other first year students']." Jay H.
