Legal Writing Workshops: Get More from your Staff Attorneys and Paralegals

Would you invest $100-$125 per person to get a more effective, more confident employee? Would you like to have staff attorneys and paralegals require less of your time when it comes to dealing with written assignments?

Some attorneys don't have the time or patience to work with their staff to get the kind of writing they want or, at least, the kind that is useful. I do. I teach others how to be clearer, more persuasive writers. I run an eight-hour workshop for effective legal writing. Locally, each session is two hours long over four days, on site at your law or corporate counsel offices. If I must travel to your site out of the Memphis area, the workshop is conducted in two four-hour sessions, over two days. Accommodations will then be necessary. Topics include review of current writing samples, grammar and usage, simplification of the essential legal points, analytical and organizational techniques for clarity of purpose, curing overuse of legalese, emphasizing saying what you mean and making it sound as if you mean what you say, proper citation and use of source materials, finding the personal style that works for each individual, and more. At the end of the workshop you will see a difference.

Cost: $600 for the eight hour workshop, with up to 6 individuals in the class. Cost for each additional participant is $125, as the larger the class, the time requirements increase beyond the standard increment. Maximum class size: 15.
