Most legal documents are a chore to read. They bore the overburdened reader with unnecessary details and convoluted language. But it’s possible to write legal memoranda and briefs that are inviting and respectful of the reader’s scarce time, attention, and motivation. Well-written legal documents set out to be helpful and get to the point right away, then make that point with clarity and precision. The skill of communicating legal concepts in plain language is crucial for in-house counsel, who often serve as the point of contact between attorneys and the organizations they represent.
