Annotate PRO: Legal Writing Edition

Annotate PRO Legal Writing Edition Library is a Comment Library that appears inside Microsoft Word and Google Chrome so professors can easily create detailed feedback by pre-writing much of what they know they will say to students.

The Legal Writing Edition Library includes 300+ comments  written by Professor Mitchell Nathanson of Villanova Law School to support first-year law school written work. You can customize and extend this library, plus create your own. Institutional clients can potentially share libraries amongst instructors, sharing best practices and creating a more consistent experience for students.

These libraries can be used across multiple computers, in Microsoft Word (Office 365), Google Docs, Canvas SpeedGrader, Google Docs, Blackboard inline commenting – almost any website where you might review work and type comments.

Any of these comments can be quickly added to a document through a lightning fast full-text search capability. You don’t have to remember button labels or arcane editing symbols.
