Miscellaneous

The DRI magazine, For the Defense, runs a regular feature called ?Writer?s Corner,? a one-page column on legal writing, written by a different contributor every month. I?ve written several of them over the last few years,¹ and I?m scheduled to write it again for an upcoming summer issue. The deadline for my draft is May 30.

There?s just one problem: I have yet to think of a topic. But rather than rack my brain thinking of one, I thought I?d ask the largest group of legal-writing devotees I can find in one place?you?for some ideas. The topic must be something that: (1) can be covered in 900 words; (2) has not been covered in a recent ?Writer?s Corner? column; and (3) I know enough about to write an original column.²

So if you have an idea, please leave a comment. Thanks.
