After my first writing assignment when I was a 1L, the professor met with each student individually (it was a small legal writing class). When she met with me, she said something along the lines of "You're an excellent writer, but you need to change the way you write."
Over the past year I've become much better at the legal writing, between class and law journal work, but when I look back at some of the pieces I wrote before law school, I wonder if I could sit down and still put out quality non-legal writing.
