Miscellaneous

The good folks at What About Clients? care about good legal writing. By eliminating the legalese and communicating like a human being, a lawyer can produce client-centered writing: something primarily for the client; something the client can readily understand. If you agree, then you?ll enjoy today?s post, in which Dan Hull riffs on an unusually pompous and putrid example of bad contract drafting. I especially like Dan?s closer, in which he says that writing in plain English ?would help diminish the image of the self-important ? I?m-special ? lawyer rocking back and forth in his chair and talking to himself like a mental patient.?
