JURIST
@JURISTnews
Authoritative global coverage of rule of law & human rights. Powered by law students and graduates from six continents. Rigorous legal training, nuanced takes.
Syllogisms are okay occasionally, but use a haiku when you really want to drive the point home.
“@JusticeWillett: Legal writing tip: !s & ?s are interchangeable.”
Indeed, most rules of punctuation are better classified as suggestions!
20–30% of a brief should be in Latin. Judges love Latin.
Judge Posner and I are best friends.
Even novice lawyers can improve their legal writing with regular use of onomatopoeia.
“@ThusBloggedA: Right-justifying your text forces lazy judges to pay attention to your brief.”
Also adds welcome flair.
“@GlowingRedSign: Always tell people they're wrong for using only one space after a period.”
And refuse to read their work.
Always use two spaces after a period.
Don't pander to the court by including a "Questions Presented" section in your brief.
On your next-to-last round of edits, look for useless sentences, like those that don't alliterate.
Page length often correlates positively with breadth of reasoning.
Do not create a schedule for outlining, drafting, and finalizing a written work. Too much structure restricts creative thinking.
It's best to ignore tax issues whenever they arise.
Be on the look out this fall for the first edition of my "Rules of Parkour in Plain English."
On appeal, always consider the appropriate level of deference: Minimum Rationality -> A&C -> Substantial Evidence -> Clear Error -> YOLO
