FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can your workshops really make a difference?
Partners and participants say so. Because most lawyers have received little training in legal writing, even a short program can make a difference. To be effective, a program must be realistic about the time lawyers can spend on their writing. Our workshops offer practical tips for solving writing issues partners see as core concerns. The idea is to maximize learning with minimal time investment (see Realistic Writing Help for Busy Lawyers). Most participants give the workshops the highest marks, and partner satisfaction is near 100%.
We got more from this 3.5-hour training than in other 1.5-day trainings on the same topic.
