Professional Development Workshop
An Objective Approach to Legal Editing
Thursday, February 17, 2011 8:30 am-10:15am

This program provides 2.0 transitional/non-transitional NY CLE credits in Practice Management

This workshop addresses one of the most common challenges in the legal industry: the claim that supervisor changes and edits are "idiosyncratic," "inconsistent," and "subjective." As an alternative to wholesale rewriting, this program will teach the skills necessary for rising associates to properly edit the work of those they supervise. Through timely and interesting examples, participants will learn to:

Apply objective, even scientific, approaches to editing for both structure and style
Use editing techniques that save time and create a more efficient work environment
Clearly communicate their expectations so their team can produce better results

Speaker: Ross Guberman, Legal Writing Pro

Free for Members and Attorneys from Sponsoring Law Firms
