Speedwriting:
From Brain to Brief in a Hurry

Never has the pressure on an attorney’s time been greater, with cases growing more complex and clients more demanding—sometimes it seems impossible to produce quality writing in the available time. Legal work is becoming more complicated and intricate, and every case, every matter seems to sprout new issues as fast as a lawyer can think.

Speedwriting: From Brain to Brief in a Hurry, uses techniques developed by non-lawyer professional writers which enable lawyers to take complex, multi-issue matters and organize them quickly, logically, and systematically. The course speeds the writing process and helps lawyers make complex matters clear and easily comprehensible.

Participants report that the course has changed the way they write, and they no longer fear complicated and labyrinthine matters, but find they can “get a handle” on the writing process, sometimes in only 15 to 30 minutes.
