Advanced Legal Editing
In this interactive workshop, we’ll use excerpts from well-known cases to
develop a more scientific approach to editing.
In particular, we’ll focus on how to make work product more concise, how to
restructure rambling paragraphs, and how to transition between sentences more
effectively. We’ll also have an informal Q&A on common usage disputes.
The program will focus on legal prose rather than on transactional drafting.
Participants will also receive a 170-page
Toolkit with custom models, checklists, and answers to the most common
legal-writing questions.
