Clear and Effective Legal Advice
Inspired by the writing techniques taught to judges in the preparation of judgments, this training course will help you write opinions that are easy for your clients to read, understand, and use. This training addresses the challenge of synthesizing the facts and the law while remaining clear and useful to clients.
This training program was developed with an eye toward the writing needs and challenges expressed by the many judges, policymakers, and attorneys we have met over the years—all of whom are committed to drafting clear and rigorous decisions or opinions.

How can we formulate legal or research questions precisely?

Where and how should you present your conclusions and recommendations?
How can you present legal citations and references concisely without distorting the original text?

Legal Design: For Clear and Effective Documents
No, legal design is not about expertise in layout, illustrations, or color palettes. Nor is it an area of expertise aimed solely at protecting consumers or marginalized groups.
Legal design is a design method with a specific goal: to create documents (as well as systems, processes, and services) that are accessible, effective, and functional—both to meet the legal and operational objectives of organizations and to address the needs and expectations of the various users for whom these documents are intended.
This method is becoming increasingly prevalent within organizations for one obvious reason: complexity is a problem for managers, executives, suppliers, business partners, consumers, citizens, marginalized groups, and even—yes—lawyers.3 hours, eligible for Ethics and Professional Conduct
