Description

Do you find that your written messages don’t put across quite what you meant to say?

Do you sometimes struggle to find the right word? Perhaps you have found yourself part way through a sentence and wondered just how you are going to end it?

Do you fall into the trap of using jargon, “mumbo-jumbo”, or legalese – never mind tautology?

Following the demise of the legal secretary, with their profound capacity to make sense of even the most garbled diction, the ability to produce clear concise written communications is crucial, not only for those entering the legal profession, but also for more experienced practitioners.

Packed with practical examples and exercises to revisit your style and uncover the secrets of clarity and purpose when trying to communicate your message concisely and effectively, this legal writing course will assist viewers to hone their technique in all areas of legal writing skills including emails, letters and reports.

During this online legal writing class course lecturer Mac Mackay will cover the following topics of writing skills for lawyers:

The modern written media – pros and cons
Putting it across – the basic approach
Structuring your writing
Zero tolerance to punctuation
The beauty of plain English

What you'll learn

• Understand the concept of modern written media and the impact this has had on legal writing • You will have examined your legal writing style and recognise how this can be improved
