At the end of June, a colleague and I  are presenting at a conference for law professors who teach legal writing and analysis. We have 45 minutes to introduce them to TBL. (I wish we had more time, but that's all we could get.) We plan to introduce TBL using the RAP and application exercises. 

Our first major decision is whether or not to use law-related material for the RAP and applications. Although the conferees will be familiar with the concepts and principles involved in legal writing, I wonder whether it would be better to use material that is not familiar.

For those of you who have done one of these insanely short presentations, what works best? Do you assign a reading assignment before the presentation or do you use the first few minutes to allow participants to read the material that will be on the RAP?

For a lot of these conferees, this will be their first exposure to TBL and I want to make sure we give them something inspiring and thought-provoking. Thanks for any insights you can offer.
