Abstract
State statutes prohibiting the teaching of "liberal-leaning" material have the potential of quieting voices that should be amplified. Maintaining courage in the face of restrictive legislation like SB 83 requires creativity. Legal Writing professors can foster critical thinking and prepare future lawyers by strategically utilizing teaching techniques that are seemingly neutral, but also force thoughtful consideration resulting in students becoming aware of historical injustices.
