Pleadings and applications are powerful. When you commence a claim or application, these documents start your client’s case on the right path (or not). Even before you’ve made your first argument at a court or tribunal, the decision maker reads your pleadings and forms a first impression of the case. Our presenters offer valuable tips to create an effective drafting plan with your client and to communicate your intentions through clear language in your documents.
- Consider how your facts and research support your client’s claim or application
- Think about the relief you seek and possible challenges to enforcing the claim
- Learn about ethical issues that arise from careless drafting errors
