Best 10 Tips for Strong Legal Writing

This is the first of a series of online webinars targeted to practicing lawyers and advanced students who need to work in legal contexts in English. The session begins with Jeff Keiser, JD who is also part of the Legal Writing Coach team at Advanced Language Institute.
How it Works: Buy 10 sessions for just over €19 each and use them anytime within six months. Just drop-in when you can or give unused sessions to another lawyer at your firm.
These sessions cover all aspects of Legal English, with a focus on excellent writing skills. Discussion is in English with other lawyers, so you should have B2 level or higher to fully participate. Meet us every Wednesday, 12-1:30 p.m. Central Europe Time (CET) on Zoom and there will be a different theme each week. Find the list of sessions in the full description.
Price is €199 for 10 session vouchers. You use one voucher each time you attend. Vouchers last for six months. If purchased by a law firm, vouchers are transferable to other lawyers in the firm. With Drop-in sessions, lawyers never lose!
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.

Expert “Drop-in” sessions are open to any lawyer or law firm. Each session engages participants through activities and examples on a specific theme of legal writing or speaking skills. Practice and feedback throughout the session.

Ridiculous first letter! I am a former English teacher, and would have used this as an example if a paragraph that says nothing!
