Can you write similarly effective introductions for your briefs and memos? Yes if you follow the advice of lawyer and http://www.grammar.com legal writing expert Ed Good. In today's issue of LitigationWorld, Ed continues his series on the Art of Legal Writing by discussing the importance of "Revealing" the structure of your briefs and memos, especially in the introduction. You'll learn about the difference between explicit and implicit introductions with examples of both. As usual, you'll want every litigator at your firm to read and heed Ed's advice.
