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: Before words hit the page, impactful writing begins with good thinking. This foundational class explores practical strategies to organize ideas and reduce “blank-screen panic.” Learn how to how to temper established legal-writing habits with greater flexibility, decide what to include (and what to leave out), and experiment with tools like outlines, free writing, and mind dumps to find the method that works best for you each time. By focusing on the thinking that happens before the first sentence ever appears, this class offers you a roadmap to clearer, more efficient, and more effective writing.
