PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

More words doesn't equate to better writing, whether the writing is in a novel or in your submissions to the tribunal. This program demonstrates this principle by teaching you the 3 key steps to concise writing:

1. Delete unnecessary words.
2. Use shorter words.
3. Write plain — yet effective — sentences.

Legal writers, including paralegals, can't let conciseness compromise the meaning of words, though. So how do you balance these competing ends? Tune into this program to understand how to navigate these trade-offs. Learn how to be concise yet clear in drafting legal work, especially for documents that are read by decision makers.
