SUMMARY:Drafting User-Friendly Emails and Documents
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This course will not be added to Courses on Demand. Courses involving professional speakers and skills-based workshops generally do not get added to Courses on Demand.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend: This course is designed for lawyers who wish to take their writing “from good to great.” It is not a remedial course. Given the complex nature of legal subjects\, it is challenging to formulate smooth prose. This course will offer concrete strategies to deliver information in a user-friendly format. \nLearning level: All levels \nModule I: Balancing Conciseness with Readability \nAt the beginning of this course\, we will analyze how lawyers can reduce the length of their writing. We will focus on deleting words\, reducing syllables\, and shortening phrases. \nThen\, this course will form a bridge between conciseness and readability by examining the rare situations in which including an extra word can assist with absorption. For example\, we will tackle raging debates—among writing nerds—over the word “that” and the phrase “in order to”. \nNext\, this course will dive further into readability by demonstrating how lawyers can deliver complex information in a smooth fashion. We will address techniques such as: \n\nunderstanding the limits of a reader’s working memory\nknowing the optimal length of sentences\ndelivering familiar information before unfamiliar information\ndeciding whether to reference an earlier part of a legal document or repeat the information explicitly\nchoosing whether to refer to individuals and corporations by their names or by other labels\, such as “appellant\,” “Holdco\,” “trustee\,” etc.\n\nModule II: Email Etiquette \nThis part of the course will focus on eliciting positive responses when communicating by email. \nThrough an interactive discussion\, attendees will be able to ask questions and share their own opinions about the best practices for yielding prompt\, positive replies to emails. Relevant topics will include: \n\nemail length\nresponse time\nsubject lines\ntone and formality\ncopying\npleasantries (such as\, “I hope all is well.”)\nanything else relevant to email dos and don’ts\n\nModule III: Persuasion \nFinally\, this course will explore persuasion in legal writing. \nWriting persuasively is an elusive concept because all lawyers know that it’s important\, but it is often defined as the totality of clear\, concise\, and grammatically correct writing. This definition must be incomplete\, since persuasion surely has its own unique qualities beyond clarity\, conciseness\, and correctness. \nWe will take a closer look at the ingredients of persuasion in legal writing\, and\, interestingly\, we will find ourselves debating whether persuasion is truly a writing challenge or\, in fact\, a substantive legal challenge. \nYou may also be interested in Clear and Credible Legal Writing on Wednesday\, October 30\, 2024. \nCourse Instructor\nRyan Standil — Write To Excite\, Toronto
