Write Now: Effective Legal Writing 2020

Product ID: CA3038D
Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

From drab to fab

Have you ever wished your writing read more like a best-selling novel than an internet user agreement? If you haven’t, your readers probably have. The good news is legal writing doesn’t have to be dull to be professional. Learn how you can incorporate lessons from “rock star” legal writers (and yes, they do exist) into your next draft at Write Now: Effective Legal Writing 2020.

Stars above

Get insight from the appellate bench on what makes for a stand-out brief. From creating your statement of facts to laying out the most critical elements of your argument, you’ll be able to polish your prose so that it doesn’t just shine, it sings. Or, as in the case of presenter Chad Baruch, it might rap instead.
