Abstract

Understanding the law and its impact on the practice of technical communication has been an important scholarly thread in technical and professional communication (TPC) for more than two decades. Technical communicators recognize the impact of their work on stakeholders as well as the potential liability issues associated with composing technical communication documents. While this scholarship is widespread, relatively few pedagogical resources are available to prepare students for success in a litigious world or to guide instructors in teaching legal writing. This article offers a case study of a legal writing course that prepares TPC students to develop legal literacy and succeed in the workplace.

具有法律意识的技术传播者——以法律写作课程为例
二十多年来,理解法律及其对技术传播实践的影响一直是技术与专业传播(TPC)的一个重要学术线索。技术沟通人员认识到他们的工作对利益相关者的影响,以及与编写技术沟通文档相关的潜在责任问题。虽然这种学术研究很普遍,但相对较少的教学资源可以帮助学生在诉讼世界中取得成功,或者指导教师教授法律写作。这篇文章提供了一个法律写作课程的案例研究,该课程使TPC学生培养法律素养并在工作场所取得成功。

期刊介绍: JBTC is a refereed journal that provides a forum for discussion of communication practices, problems, and trends in business, professional, scientific, and governmental fields. As such, JBTC offers opportunities for bridging dichotomies that have traditionally existed in professional communication journals between business and technical communication and between industrial and academic audiences. Because JBTC is designed to disseminate knowledge that can lead to improved communication practices in both academe and industry, the journal favors research that will inform professional communicators in both sectors. However, articles addressing one sector or the other will also be considered.
