Why Attend

Why this 
program matters

Mastering legal writing is essential because it directly impacts advocacy outcomes, malpractice risk, client communication, and professional credibility across all practice areas.
88%
of low-quality plaintiffs’ briefs lost at summary judgment compared to just 44% of high-quality briefs in a landmark study of hundreds of federal cases — demonstrating that writing quality can be the single most decisive factor in litigation outcomes.
72%
of plaintiffs’ briefs in a major study omitted available case law rebutting key defense arguments, reflecting failures in legal research and written advocacy that directly contributed to unfavorable rulings and distorted the development of case law.
54%
of legal professionals now use AI tools for drafting correspondence, making it the most common AI use case in law — followed by document summarization and editing — underscoring the importance of understanding modern writing tools covered in this program.
78%
of judges surveyed prefer citations in the text rather than footnotes, and virtually every judge reported disliking overlong “kitchen-sink” briefs — revealing that structural choices and formatting decisions carry as much persuasive weight as substantive arguments.
