AN EXCELLENT BLOG ON LEGAL WRITING

I’ve had this blog in my links for some time now, but I believe it deserves it’s own special mention.

Raymond Ward, an appellate attorney from New Orleans is the author of the (new) legal writer. This blog is incredibly useful and reader friendly and is worth checking out. Most importantly, it’s updated frequently.

Recent posts include:

Shorter is better (quality has an inverse relationship to length)

Fewer words mean greater confidence (the less you say, the smarter you are…sort of)

Why George Orwell’s Ideas About Language Still Matter to Lawyers, by Judith D. Fischer

I added the parentheticals above. Apparently parenthetical and parenthetically are words, but parentheticals is not. It should be.
