I would start by writing a paper to present at a regional or the national ALSB
meeting, which included several useful examples.  At the meeting you could get
feed back from other colleagues.  Eventually with a sufficiently detailed and
directed article, it might find a home in the Journal for Legal Studies
Education (which our ALSB organization sponsors).

If you need a quick, short article -- to show you are starting to get involved
in writing articles -- write something for your local business journal on a
legal topic with which you already have familiarily.  It is not a "refereed"
article, but it does show the beginnings of scholarly effort . . . while you
are working on longer, more involved articles.

Instead you could develop a scholarly article (on a topic related to an area
in which you practiced) examining in depth legal issues associated with a
particular law or landmark case.  There are many more outlets for such
articles (Bar Journals and Law Reviews) depending on the depth, length and
approach used.
