About the Program
This seminar is the last installment of a three-installment professional-development program designed for attorneys who write or edit – which is to say, for nearly all attorneys. It moves beyond standard legal-writing tips to address the entire lifecycle of a legal document, from strategic pre-writing and persuasive organization to the careful use of AI-powered drafting and editing tools.
Participants will be part of a masterclass in ensuring clarity and impact in all their written communication, developing efficient and adaptable workflows, and smoothing out the often-contentious review-and-revision process that takes place before hitting “Send.”
Join writing coach and former attorney Rick Horowitz for a lively and practical session that will reintroduce you to your legal-writing toolbox, including a few tools you didn't know were in there.
You Will Learn
• How to responsibly integrate AI into your writing and editing tasks, taking advantage of its promise while staying alert to its perils
• How to make “writing as a team sport” more productive – and less stressful – for everyone in the drafting and editing pipeline
• How to “tweak your tone” to reach different audiences, ensuring that your writing comes across as authoritative yet accessible
