Designed with the realities of modern legal practice in mind, When Lawyers Write can be used for specific help on a particular problem or for general guidance to refresh or refine legal writing skills.

* Tailor your tone to the case at hand
* Know when to use jargon
* Avoid unplanned shocks to the reader; And open a coherent path through sentences and paragraphs
