Description
Join, “The CLE Performer,” Stuart Teicher, Esq, as he explains the fundamental elements for writing in the modern practice: a new paradigm called the “Surgical Strike.”
Stuart explains how lawyers can make their writings clear, concise, and direct by using Plain English and also by placing renewed relevance on the building blocks of our writing.
Get down and dirty with some technicalities of sentence structure, get the lowdown on Stuart's "Shortwriting" method for reducing long sentences, and (if time permits) get the skinny on "the only punctuation you'll ever need to know.”
