Legal Professionals
Five courses to help hone your writing & editing skills and support your team.
- Power Editing for Clarity and Brevity
Even the best writers among legal professionals will find new ways to recognize unnecessary words and dull wording. This method has received 12 patents from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Power Editing Exercises
Gary narrates the entire set of editing exercises, as legal professionals practice finding and removing dull and unnecessary words.
- Mastering High-Level Grammar
Legal professionals must be able to distinguish fifteen often-confused word pairs like that/which and lay/lie, or risk tarnishing their and the firm’s reputations.
- Proofreading
Partners evaluate what legal professionals write by how they write it. If the writing contains typos, homonym confusion, grammatical slips, misused words, or punctuation problems, those mistakes tell the partner that the writer is careless. This course helps legal professionals train their proofreading eye, while teaching them grammar rules that partners and clients already know.
- BONUS: Conquering Email
The legal profession has embraced email to send important communication, but the informality of email encourages professionals not to worry about typos and grammatical slips, even as they communicate with colleagues, courts, agencies, and clients. This course will help legal professionals use email more thoughtfully.
- Power Editing Refresher
Three months after completing Enhancing Your Supporting Role, the refresher will arrive in a legal professional’s inbox with more examples to practice the Power Editing System.
- Plus, downloadable materials and 60-day access.
