Praise for Bryan Garner’s TrainingTed Olson, former Solicitor General of the United States and a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, says:
“ Bryan Garner’s seminars are the most valuable things I know of to help a lawyer communicate effectively. Lawyers who strive to be effective never stop learning. I’d go again and again and again.”
Fall Seminar
Bryan Garner provides the keys for making the most of your writing aptitude—in letters, memos, briefs, and more. The seminar covers five essential skills for persuasive writing: • framing issues that grab the reader; • cutting wordiness that wastes the reader’s time; •using transitions deftly to make your argument flow; •quoting authority more effectively; and •handling your writing projects more efficiently.
Garner provides dozens of techniques that can make an enormous difference. Most important, he shows what doesn’t work and why—and teaches participants how to shake the bad habits that judges despise.
