Dear Friend:
- Do you plan to attend a U.S. law school? Learn about one of the most important skills you will need to succeed academically and professionally.
- Have you just been admitted to a U.S. law school? Congrats! Now is a good time to start building the foundation of your successful legal career!

Nobody is born a good writer. Even famous authors had to learn how to write. Writing is a skill. Effective writing is a habit that you must develop and strive to improve. Lawyers express their knowledge and expertise through words. Not surprisingly, writing is the preferred method of evaluating your competency in U.S. law school. As a law student, you have to write papers, briefs and essay exams among other things. What is your level of comfort with writing?
- When was the last time you studied rhetoric?
- How familiar are you with methods of exposition?
- Can you spot a fallacy in an argument?
- Do you know how to make your writing informative, exciting and persuasive?
- How well can you manage your writing process from generating ideas to editing your final product?
- Will you benefit from grammar reminders?
I will let you in on a secret. The vigorous law school curriculum assumes that you know the fundamentals of good writing. Unfortunately, not all law students do, and they struggle with their writing projects. They feel intimidated by the quantity of information they must absorb. They are not sure what qualifies as good writing. Let’s be frank, there is a lot of bad legal writing out there, and fine examples can be hard to find. The good news is that you don’t have to be one of those students. Writing doesn’t have to be a boring and daunting task.
I want you to focus for a moment on what you can do as a writer instead of what you shouldn’t do. You can tell stories that move and propel people to action. You can spread new ideas around the world. You can share your passions and experiences with others. You can prevent costly litigation and help build trust among business partners. You can help entrepreneurs realize their dreams. And yes, you can excel in your law class, pass the bar examination, and be a great lawyer. Words are powerful when you know how to use them.
You have invested a lot of resources and effort into your legal career. Begin working on your writing skills right now and it will save you time and trouble in law school and legal practice.
