Summary

It’s time to stop being selfish. To communicate complex ideas as an attorney or other legal practitioner, you must write for your readers, not yourself. To do so, you need to use plain language. Attend this CLE to learn plain-language basics such as how to avoid legalese, construct sentences, and let your ideas flow. Keep your readers reading, not screaming.
