Series Description: The words “You Write Just Like a Lawyer!” might not be a compliment. Knowing the law is essential – but so is being able to communicate effectively about it. That can be challenging. That can be stressful. Rick Horowitz can help. Rick is founder and Wordsmith in Chief of Prime Prose LLC, leading highly popular – and highly practical – legal-writing workshops coast to coast. A graduate of Brandeis University and NYU School of Law and a former lawyer himself, he's worked with state and local bar associations, government agencies, and a variety of corporations, nonprofits, and law firms.
Sign up for one or more of these innovative classes and explore the fundamentals, and the critical details, of creating clear, well-organized, persuasive legal documents. This series leads you through the various stages of the legal-writing and editing process, from preparing to write; to producing clear, well-organized, and persuasive documents; to polishing the final product.
Class Description: Once words are on the page or screen, the challenge becomes shaping them into clear, effective writing. The second class in this transformative series explores how to avoid common missteps, organize content for maximum impact, and refine sentences for clarity and brevity. Consider how tone influences the reader’s perception and how even small adjustments can make an enormous difference. By focusing on these essential details, this class helps you strengthen your writing and ensures your readers receive the message you intend to deliver in a form they can use.
