Knowing the law is essential – but so is being able to communicate about it. That can be challenging. That can be stressful.
Join writing coach and former attorney Rick Horowitz for a lively and practical (and stress-reducing) writing workshop that will reintroduce you to your legal-writing toolbox, including a few tools you didn’t know were in there.
“More Effective Writing Makes More Effective Lawyers” will explore the fundamentals (and the critical details) of creating clear, well-organized, persuasive legal documents. Briefs, memos, client letters, even daily correspondence – they’ll all benefit from your deeper understanding of what goes into successful writing.
Choose from full-day, half-day, or quick-hit sessions tailored to fit your needs, and your schedule. We’ll spend our time together – in person, or online – examining good and not-so-good writing to see what works, what doesn't, and why. You’ll get advice for steering clear of the potholes that can undermine your powers of persuasion – and your credibility. You’ll even learn how to avoid some of that dreaded “legalese” while still sounding professional! (There’s a reason people tell lawyer jokes…)
You'll come away with new skills, new strategies, and new confidence.
So sign up to attend one of Rick’s upcoming workshops – or contact Rick about designing and leading a session for your agency, law firm, organization or bar association!
