My Legal Writing: Techniques

My Legal Writing™ is a unique set of guides for newer lawyers, law students (including students in internships, externships, clinical experiences, or clerkships), and others who want to improve their legal writing efficiency and quality. My Legal Writing: Techniques is an introductory guide.

The Four Techniques are editing steps you can take to make reading any legal writing project faster and easier. A document edited to assist reader speed and understanding not only improves your readers progress through the document but can also make your message understood, and, importantly, make the reader want to read your writing. Your legal writing will be better for the reader if you implement these techniques.

In many cases, the Four Techniques can be implemented in an hour or less (fifteen minutes for each technique). And while these are not the only editing techniques one can use, these techniques can significantly improve any documents readability.
