“When I read a brief, the first thing I’m judging is the person who wrote it. How careful is this lawyer? How competent? How candid? The answers to these questions will enhance or diminish the force of the lawyer’s arguments. For in judging, as in other areas of life, it makes sense to consider the source.” - U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Raymond M. Kethledge
All lawyers write. Not every lawyer writes effectively. This class addresses concepts in legal writing, including grammar, word choice, and document formatting. You will learn from family law attorney Joe Condo how to write so clients understand and judges take notice.
*Approved for 1.0 CLE in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Pending approval for 1.0 CLE in Virginia.
