When writing professionally as a lawyer it is very important that they are meticulous and correct in all phases of their writing process. One mistake or ill explained thought can be the deciding factor that loses an attorney any given case. Also lawyers must always know what kind of audience their writing to and use the appropriate language in their writing. When writing to a judge it’s important that the attorney’s writing looks professional, clear, and concise. This is because a judge does not want to be distracted or mislead by unneeded information or run on sentences, it will only make you look less qualified and the judge less likely to agree with your argument. But when writing to a client it may be ok to use more detailed and less formal approach to ensure that they know everything they should know and aren’t left confused by the wording in the document. A great deal of a lawyer’s success is going to depend on how well they can communicate in writing, so it is of the upmost importance that a lawyer knows exactly how to compose all their written documents.

ReplyDeleteJames,
ReplyDeleteThis would have made a great powerpoint in your post 3 that was about "What are the professional writing styles in your major". This week you were suppose to do a "Voki,
Who does more work a nurse or a doctor and why"
Your post gave great examples and has a catchy title.
Each of us were given a schedule on what topic to write about and what type of format to do it in such as voki, powerpoint, toondoo or freestyle which means use graphics or video of your choice.
