Want to give yourself a competitive advantage in law? Pay more attention to the quality of your writing. Studies show that readers – including legal readers – strongly prefer clear, efficient, accurate prose. They find it easier and faster to read and understand, and they are more likely to start and finish reading what you write.

In this convenient, 90-minute webinar, lawyer and writing instructor Ryan Standil offers you a new focus for improving what is a significant component of your daily work.

You spend a lot of time in front of a computer, and if you’re not sending emails, you’re probably using Microsoft Word to create and edit documents. Whether you’re a transactional lawyer or litigator, you rely heavily on form documents and templates – for agreements, affidavits, pleadings, even letters.

So you spend minutes, maybe even hours, trying to “clean up” whatever you’ve created or are editing. Stop wasting your time!

Using simple, easy to understand on-screen examples, Craig will show you how to...Read More

Procrastination is an avoidance behavior that can be a serious issue for lawyers. It can impact the quality of your work and cause unnecessary stress, guilt and a loss of productivity. It can also result in failure to meet professional conduct and responsibility standards, and may lead to disciplinary action. Most courses on procrastination focus on tips and techniques about how to get over it. But we rarely ask what procrastination actually is and why it happens in the first place.
