What’s the secret to good legal writing? Spoiler alert – the answer is not AI (yet). Like any craft, writing can be arduous, even for the seasoned practitioner. But the keys to good writing are not hidden. In this session, two experienced litigators (both former federal prosecutors and appellate law clerks) share tried and true tips on how to write persuasively and well. They will cover fundamental topics such as organizing a brief, structuring an argument, improving sentence flow, choosing the right words (and more). Whether you are beginning your legal writing journey or seeking to perfect your skills, this session is for you.
