With the assistance of Rose Moss, and under the auspices of the Law and the Arts Initiative, Professor Janet Halley invites students to join a Creative Writers’ Group in the Spring of 2012.

We welcome applications from HLS students with prose fiction, memoir and biography projects, who wish to join a weekly group in the Spring Semester, to discuss their works in progress.

The group is for J.D. and graduate students in the Law School.  Meetings will take place on Thursdays, 3-4:30pm from the week after Spring Break through to the end of Spring Semester (3/22 through 4/19).  Regular attendance will be important. Members of the group will submit work regularly for discussion.  Rose Moss will assign some passages or short stories for participants to read.  No direct academic credit is provided for membership in the group, but Professor Janet Halley will offer to provide a 1-credit independent-study supervision to students in the group.

To apply, email a 1-page statement of interest by March 9 to Rose Moss at rosermoss@gmail.com. Veteran members of the Group need to do nothing more; newcomers should include a 5-page writing sample.

We will admit students on a rolling basis, and we will let you know by March 16.

The first meeting will take place Thursday, March 22 at 3-4:30pm, location TBA (you will learn this detail in your admission email).
