Description: ""Legal writing is a mess," says the author, and quotes from the leaders of the plain language for lawyers movement." "From her "Funeral for Legalese" through her "Editing Checklist," Carol Ann Wilson convinces her readers that lawyers should rid their writing of legalese and that lawyers' assistants can help." ""The LA who can draft pleadings is valuable to the lawyer and to the legal profession." And those pleadings should be "concise, powerful, and communicative.""--Jacket.
