Do what everyone else does, used the final product.

I'd still use the draft, but I assumed it would be heavily edited for anonymity -- pretty much goes without saying, I thought.

I agree with this. I would just send out something where the final draft reasonably reflects your work.

Your draft is work product, I would beware sending it out unless redacted into anonymity.

And with my typos as you can see!

I have a similar problem in house. Most documents are either edited multiple times, or too proprietary to use. I'm left with project documetns that are pretty boring!

Ditto. Or if you wrote a couple pages of brief, you can use that portion.

I would use your best anonymous post on DCUM.

Use your original draft, before it gets edited.

Every memo or brief I've done is collaborative, as in either I do a draft and then it is edited many times by one or more attorneys, or I write small pieces of briefs or memos or no the whole thing. That's just the way it is in my practice group and at my level. So what can I use as a writing sample?
