Written Advocacy will help you learn how to communicate more effectively by writing accessible, understandable, and persuasive documents. At its core, effective writing requires you to write for your audience, not for yourself. This seminar on demand will explain what this means and how to do it.
The tips and tricks offered in the videos and course materials apply to any form of legal writing: affidavits, statements of claim, statements of defense, third party notice, mediation briefs, client reporting letters, and more.
Eugene Meehan QC, Justice Bielby, and Jon Faulds QC share many tips to help you make your writing more effective. Here’s a sneak peek of three tips offered in this incredible educational resource:
- Don’t use unnecessarily complex language. Simplicity is best, since it’s your job to uncomplicate the complicated for the reader.
- Use straightforward organizing logic. Be brief and present the most important details first. Everyone is busy and you have a limited time to make your point.
- Organization and visual presentation is critical. Use bullets, headings, and charts to organize your document and help the reader more quickly and easily follow your argument.
