Abstract
(Excerpt)
In my experience, students have a narrow view of what revision entails. They typically equate it with polishing–changing words, editing grammar, and fixing citation. In their minds, it is the final clean-up stage in the process before the assignment is due. If we want to encourage our students to treat it differently–that is, to treat it as an opportunity to discover new legal arguments, resolve dissonance in their analyses, and question their original decisions–then our comments on their drafts need to show that revision entails seeing their work through new eyes.
