Description: 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.
 
Sign up for this innovative class and explore the fundamentals, and the critical details, of creating clear, well-organized, persuasive legal documents. Examine good (and not-so-good) writing to see what worked, what didn’t, and why. Re-examine some of the assumptions and habits that often lead lawyers down less-than-productive writing paths.

Briefs, memos, client letters, even daily correspondence – they'll all benefit from a deeper understanding of what goes into successful legal writing. Among the topics we’re likely to discuss:

  • What should you include, and what can you leave out?
  • Is your writing flexible enough to take on a variety of documents – and readers?
  • Are there ways to overcome “blank-screen panic”?
  • Shouldn’t your brief be a little more. .. brief?
  • Are you OK with writing as a team sport?
  • Can you benefit from the promise – and avoid the perils – of AI?
  • And do you really need all that legalese?

Rick Horowitz 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.

His goals? Clearer, crisper, better-organized, less jargony, more effective legal writing. And less stress.
