Effective Written Advocacy: Tips, Tricks, and Tragedies

Presented by the Contra Costa County Bar Association Appellate Section & Litigation Section

May 15 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PDT

1 Hour General CLE Credit

Description:
As lawyers, litigators, appellate practitioners and beyond, we use writing skills every day to craft compelling arguments. In this program you will learn how to elevate your legal writing skills.

Three speakers give varied perspectives: Hon. Leslie Landau (Ret.) formerly of the Contra Costa Superior Court and appellate practice, is now a mediator and arbitrator; Claudia Hagadus Long is a mediator and successful novelist; and Patrick Burns is an appellate practitioner.

The program will help you build on your existing writing foundation and “up your game.” The speakers will address how to understand and balance the competing interests of diverse audiences (court, counsel, client, mediator), and tailor your writing to meet the needs of your case. They will also examine what works (and what doesn’t) in legal briefs.

Finally, they will provide concrete suggestions to help you take your writing to the next level.
