• Develop realistic motion-writing assignments based on federal civil litigation scenarios.
• Create evaluation criteria to measure the quality and effectiveness of AI-generated legal arguments.
• Apply practical litigation expertise to identify what makes legal writing persuasive, well-structured, and effective in court.
