Ready to go beyond the basics? In this follow-up to Persuasive Legal Writing, this seminar explains the advanced strategies that separate good briefs from great briefs. Drawing on 35 years of exclusively appellate practice, including 19 California Supreme Court appearances, the presenter explains the subtle choices in language, structure, sequence, and tone that lead judges to respect your character and your arguments. This seminar answers Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg's call for " [l]ucid, well-ordered writing [that] can contribute immeasurably to a lawyer's success as an advocate and counselor."
