Jackie Van Dyke's Summary

As a GWU teaching faculty member, training and encouraging our graduate paralegal students to achieve their academic and career goals is my priority. I believe that successful paralegal programs such as that at GWU must depend on their instructors' critical thinking and problem-solving skills to bring an effective learning environment to their students. I pride myself on building lasting relationships with many of my students. Writing is a critical communication skill for paralegals. My love for writing has provided me the opportunity to publish numerous articles for national paralegal magazines. I am also the business owner of The Paralegal Writer™, where you will find my two signature course offerings: Legal Scribble Sessions™ and Memo Writing Warm-Up. You are welcome to connect with me at https://www.facebook.com/groups/paralegalswrite. My teaching experience at the graduate level includes Legal Research and Writing, Advanced Legal Writing, Administrative Law, American Jurisprudence, International Law, and Litigation. I maintain expertise in my subject areas by continuously completing legal education courses and attending instructional webinars. I am a proud member of the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA), the Arizona Paralegal Association, and NALA's Continuing Education Council. While my website www.theparalegalwriter.com is under revision, you may find me on IG at instagram.com/theparalegalwriter or on Twitter at @dcParalegal2013.
