Appealing in Nevada : Nevada Appellate Lawyer & Attorney : Tami D. Cowden : Nevada Supreme Court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

File this under shameless self-promotion:

Tomorrow afternoon I will present the first of a three part CLE series on "Practical Writing for Lawyers."

Part 1 is devoted to the "Seven Steps to Effective Writing."  And yes, I really will be revealing all the secrets, heretofore known only to "real" writers, for effective written communication.  Honest!

Part 2 - Briefs on briefs, wherein I explain how to use fiction writing techniques for persuasive writing, will be July 6.

On August 3, I'll present Part 3 -  "Win Clients and impress Partners with Article Writing."  This CLE provides a step by step process for preparing articles for both public and legal consumption.

Call the Clark County Bar for info on signing up for one or all of these - 387-6011.

A page turner of an opinion

I’ve long been a proponent of using fiction writing techniques in legal writing. But even I am bowled over by the gripping opinion created by Judge Farmer of the Fourth District Court of Appeals of the State of Florida in Funny Cide Ventures, LLC v. Miami Herald Publishing Co.   Alas, the rest of the court did not appreciate Farmer’s style, and so the first opinion is same old, same old. But read on. You’ll get to the good stuff.

Thanks to Abstract Appeal for the heads up on this opinion.

Engaging once again in shameless self-promotion, I’ll remind readers that I’ll be teaching some of those fiction writing techniques in the three part CLE for CCBA, Practical Writing for Lawyers on June 2, July 6 and August 3. Click here for more info. However, I can’t promise advice on making your legal writing sound like a Broadway musical.
