About the Program

Strong legal writing is one of the most powerful tools in a lawyer’s toolkit—and one of the most transferable. Whether you're advocating in court, before tribunals, in arbitration, or in strategic advisory work, how you present your argument on the page can shape outcomes long before anything is said aloud. This 90-minute presentation with experienced research and writing lawyer Linda Jensen will teach you how to craft legal documents that are clear, strategic, and persuasive. You’ll learn how to organize complex material, frame issues effectively, tell the story through the facts, blend evidence and law seamlessly, and avoid common pitfalls that weaken your message. Linda will also share insights on the new reality of AI in legal drafting. Packed with helpful examples and guidance from courts, you’ll leave with proven techniques that you can immediately apply to improve the quality of your writing. By the end of the presentation, you’ll know how to:

  • Plan your documents with clarity and purpose— before you start writing
  • Distill complex material into clean, readable, and persuasive prose
  • Apply best practices for different sections of legal documents
  • Understand how AI is changing legal drafting

Don’t miss this opportunity to build writing habits that will improve every legal document you produce.
