Legal Writing

Wake Up Whatley

It’s been a bit of time since we last spoke of Whatley and his lack of attention to detail, which is beginning to seem to be persistent.

Remember: when you write something, be it a client alert or a blog post or something decidedly monstrous, look at it when it’s published.

There might have been an error in production. What you thought was a link to something important might have been set as a link to nowhere (or worse). Chunks of copy could be missing, or they might be in the wrong place. Who knows what might have gone wrong?

Not you, unless you practice due diligence and look.

Would someone please tell Nathan Whatley to set a Google Alert so he knows what people are saying about him? Would someone show him how to do it? Would someone tell him why every attorney should set an alert for his name?

In the meantime, I’ll keep reminding attorneys that they should review whatever they write after it’s published, and why.
