Clarity, simplicity, and getting to the point not only make your writing more effective; they also create a context from which you can effectively operate. This workshop will not only train you to write clearly; it will also train you to think clearly.
This workshop will help lawyers to break through writing barriers and give them practical help in communicating clearly and effectively on paper or computer. In it you will analyze writing samples to see how effective they are, and you will practice specific skills which will make you a better writer.
Professor Roderick Wood of the Faculty of Law, University of Alberta, and co-author of Personal Property Security Law, Second Edition (Irwin Law: 2012), will highlight recent and significant developments in Personal Property Security Law in Canada, focusing on issues which are relevant and critical to practitioners who practice in this area. There will also be a question and answer/discussion component included in the presentation, to address specific areas of interest or concern for members. This will be a valuable opportunity for members to obtain a comprehensive update on and survey of key developments, and to discuss practical issues with one of Canada’s leading experts in the area.
The SS Daisy Legal History Committee will have a display both at the upcoming Canadian Association of Provincial Court Judges convention. This booth will showcase the publications and prints the committee has available for purchase.
