Description of Our Legal Research & Writing Process:

• Understand the purpose of the writing project. There are important distinctions in purpose, style, and tone between predictive writing (office memos and opinion letters) and persuasive writing (trial and appellate briefs).
• Combine computerized research with hard-copy research that addresses primary authority, secondary authority, and other helpful sources.
• In addition to a well-reasoned argument section, include introduction and conclusion sections that state the issues and opinions clearly and concisely.
• Write with an appropriately confident tone that is neither too arrogant nor too tentative.
• Provide additional editing services to ensure that the text is well-written, free from errors, and complies with relevant citation and style guide requirements.
