Webinar: Strong Writing for Trial and Other Attorneys

Please share:

May 26, 2021 @ 12:00 pm 1:00 pm

1 Hour MCLE

This webinar will demonstrate specific legal-writing techniques that will help attorneys make their writing more concise and direct, and therefore more persuasive.  Too many attorneys have been trained to pad their writing with unnecessarily long sentences, awkward syntax, and overstuffed phrases that hide rather than elucidate the writer’s meaning.  Through specific examples of typical legal-writing problems and their solutions, the webinar will help participants improve the clarity and focus of the briefs, letters, and other written work that is crucial to any legal practice.

Speaker
