Miscellaneous

For a long time, I?ve been a fan of Judge Mark Painter, who, unlike Sammy Davis Jr., is neither too old nor too bold. So I?m happy to announce a legal-writing seminar he is bringing to Louisiana later this month: April 15 in Shreveport, April 17 in Baton Rouge, and April 18 in New Orleans. The seminar is based on his book, The Legal Writer, which contains 40 sound rules for improving your writing.

The seminar brochure (in two PDF files) is here and here. For a free, condensed version of Judge Painter?s 40 rules, read the lead article he wrote for the Summer 2005 issue of Certworthy.
