He overviews the core issues with writing numbers, which lawyers from different countries and contexts use differently, then proceeds to cover nine more target areas where lawyers seem to miss - mostly related to concision - lawyers need to write in a clear, short, and precise way.
The concept of concision is oftentimes overlooked and creates communication barriers between lawyer and client. Nowadays, with inboxes full and quick, constant communication styles, the need for concision and cutting words is even more apparent. Nevertheless, that is not the only thing you'll gain from these top tips. Through watching the whole hour you will learn many of the key style, grammar, usage, and plain English writing techniques that the 'legal writing gurus' teach privately for thousands of dollars.
