More Effective Writing Makes More Effective Lawyers

$200.00
  • Instructor(s):  Rick Horowitz

“More Effective Writing Makes More Effective Lawyers”  Rick Horowitz, Discussion Leader   Course Description  There’s what you know in your particular areas of the law – and then there’s how well you’re able to communicate that knowledge. Communicate it to a variety of different audiences, through a range of different documents, to accomplish many different goals.   That can be hard work. Even stressful work. Maybe you could use a little help.  Help is on the way! Join writing coach and former attorney Rick Horowitz at the Oklahoma Bar Association on Tuesday, October 24, for “More Effective Writing Makes More Effective Lawyers.” It’s sure to be a lively and highly practical workshop that will reintroduce you to your legal-writing toolbox, including a few tools you didn't know were in there.  We’ll explore the fundamentals (and the critical details) of creating clear, concise, well-organized, persuasive legal documents.?We’ll take a fresh look at some of the assumptions and habits that often lead lawyers down less-than-productive writing paths. And we’ll talk about other approaches that might be even better options for you in dealing with the variety of legal-writing tasks most lawyers face.   Briefs, memos, client letters, even daily correspondence all benefit from your deeper understanding of what goes into successful writing, so we’ll examine good and not-so-good writing to see what worked, what didn't, and why. Among the topics we might cover:  When Lawyers Write: What Can Go Wrong? Knowing Your Goal(s), Knowing Your Audience(s) The Writing You Do Before You Start Writing Being Concise (1): “What’s In? What’s Out?” Overcoming “Blank-Screen Panic”: Those First Few Words... Organizing for Impact: “Where Do I Put It?” Being Concise (2): “How Do I Say It?” Being Precise: Catching Those Problems Before You Hit “Send”... Writing as a Team Sport: Smoothing Out the Rough Spots Tone & Voice: “How Does It Come Across?”     Disclaimer:  All views or opinions expressed by any presenter during the course of this CLE is that of the presenter alone and not an opinion of the Oklahoma Bar Association, the employers, or affiliates of the presenters unless specifically stated.

The Art of Advocacy

$169.00
  • Instructor(s):  Alan Blumenfeld, Katherine James, Andrew Caple-Shaw, Anna Marie Thatcher

The Art of Advocacy The attorney is called upon to assume the tasks of writer, director and actor, but is usually only trained in the rules and procedures of the law.  The Art of Advocacy:  What Can Lawyers Learn From Actors? teaches lawyers how to translate ideas, opinions, research and facts of a trial or other professional presentation into live three-dimensional events.   The program demonstrates how to employ the full spectrum of verbal and non-verbal communication skills of the performing artist to connect with jurors, clients and judges to win more cases, create better settlements and generally communicate much more effectively.   Attorneys and actors share a common mission … to create a riveting drama that demands the listener’s attention and directs the listener’s point of view to convince him or her of the story’s desired outcome! Persuasion is the point of every word the actor and the lawyer speaks.  A performance comes alive when the actor or lawyer connects deeply with an audience through a masterful command of evocative language, human emotion and skillful pacing … resulting in an ovation for the actor … a decisive WIN for the attorney.  Presented in three sessions – webcast attendees view a filmed workshop that offers concrete solutions to courtroom “performance” and presentation challenges.            Disclaimer:  All views or opinions expressed by any presenter during the course of this CLE is that of the presenter alone and not an opinion of the Oklahoma Bar Association, the employers, or affiliates of the presenters unless specifically stated.

Trust Accounting Essentials

Trust Accounting Essentials   The need to handle with scrupulous care funds entrusted to a lawyer by a client or third person should be self-evident. Nonetheless, there are cases where practicing lawyers, either inadvertently or intentionally, mishandle trust funds, subjecting clients and third persons to the risk of economic hardship and undermining public confidence in the legal profession.
