Legal Writing and Drafting Skills

Why Attend

There is a common misconception that legal writing and drafting are the same thing; however, there is a fundamental difference between them. While legal writing typically deals with persuasive documents such as court briefs and legal letters, legal drafting involves creating documents such as contracts, and both are equally important in legal practice. Legal writing is a critical skill in all areas of legal practice, using words to advocate, inform, persuade, and guide. Are you giving the right impression? Are your clients receiving the right message? This course focuses on clear legal writing skills for diverse global target audiences. Effective communication with English-speaking lawyers goes beyond words; it requires understanding the unique way these speakers think and operate in the worlds of law, politics, and business.
