| Outside a courtroom, the
written word is a lawyer’s strongest form of communication.
It’s how a lawyer says, “This is what my client and
I stand for.” Even in the complex world of the law, you have
to tell it to sell it--to clients, opposing counsel, their clients,
and others who you must persuade through your written communication
Whether it’s a letter, memo, brief, or petition, the key is
to explain it so everyone gets it–and so that your position
prevails.
The same goal applies within the firm too.
Whether a concept, an action plan, a target, a reorganization, or
a change in responsibilities, the same rules of persuasive, clear
writing apply. It’s even more important when the subject is
politically complex or even perilous--a firing or resignation, a
complaint or criticism, a pitch for partnership, a plea for a help
with a case run amok. All these and other facets of legal life demand
insightful, expressive, compelling, reasoned and well-crafted writing.
The best lawyers tend to be the best communicators.

can make every lawyer a better communicator.
