ON WRITING, LEGALLY

“Therefore, its name was called Babel, becausethere the Lord confused the language of all theearth.” – Genesis, 11:9, ESV

4f brevit' is the soul of wit* wh%t now is to beome of l%w'ers (%nd l%w students) whowould nonh%l%ntl' write % 1003p%+e doument %nd d%re %ll it % 5&rief6

The tr%dition%l notion of le+%l writin+ is th%t it is % ompetition to put to+ether %s m%n'four to five3s'll%ble words in % one3p%r%+r%ph sentene. The l%n+u%+e of the l%w m'stifies %nd

with this omes the power of the l%w'er. The more obsure %nd obtuse the l%n+u%+e* the +re%ter

the need for % l%w'er.

Histor' h%s +iven us m%n' l%n+u%+e h%ndi%ps %nd obst%les to l%rit' %nd preision.

Throu+hout four 'e%rs of l%w shool* the l%w student* who eventu%ll' beomes % l%w'er* istr%ined to thin in %rh%i words %nd phr%ses8le+%lese8whih %ppe%r to h%ve le+%l si+nifi%ne

but is %tu%ll' too impreise to help %n'one underst%nd wh%t is +oin+ on. nd to %dd to the b%belish situ%tion* there %re hundreds of words in % de%d l%n+u%+e8$%tin8th%t h%ve little

relev%ne to the ontempor%r' world.

There is % se% h%n+e* however* +oin+ on in le+%l writin+. ore %nd more* ple%ders %re

%sed to be le%r %nd onise* preise not ped%nti. 9h' w%ste five words when three will do:

&ut h%n+e* %s %lw%'s* is diffiult %nd p%inful. ;et* it is %n essenti%l response to tod%'<s evolvin+

le+%l profession. 4ndeed* when the most ommon me%ns now of ommuni%tin+ is tet* with its

own subulture %nd lin+o* there must be % re3e%min%tion of the %rh%i m%nner b' whih le+%lwritin+ presents itself.

9h%t this short introdution to the %omp%n'in+ h%ndboo of Pleadings, Petitions, Motions and Other Legal and Judicial Forms sees to do is to put forth the need to write le%rl'%nd onisel'* preisel' but not ped%nti%ll'.

9hen % =ud+e<s %ttention sp%n is short %nd his b%lo+ of re%din+ is lon+* the need towrite onisel'* le%rl'* preisel' but not ped%nti%ll' beomes %bsolutel' le%r.

9ritin+ onisel' %nd not ped%nti%ll'* however* does not me%n th%t the le+%l writer ou+ht to ut orners when it omes to subst%ne %s well %s form, the onl' thin+ th%t th%t

+u%r%ntees is % b%leful st%re %nd % rude dismiss%l from the =ud+e. >ot onl' must the writer now

the %r+uments %nd the b%ses for his %r+uments* but she must %lso re%lie th%t these %r+uments

need to be presented in % m%nner th%t is tehni%ll' suffiient.

: ' f%vorite* %nd m%n' of m' students will %ttest to this* is the %bsolutel' %rh%i “Comes Now, the Plaintiff, by theundersigned counsel, unto this Honorable Court, resectfully states that! %s p%rt of ever' ple%din+. 9h' w%ste 1?

words* when @ will do* thusA “Plaintiff, by counsel, resectfully states that!" The l%tter loses none of the le+%l

+r%vit%s but loses ever' bit of the %rh%i pretense th%t m'stifies the l%w %nd perpetu%tes the notion th%t l%'wers

now wh%t the' %re doin+ e%h %nd ever' time.

v



4t is hoped th%t the forms presented here* with helistsB of le+%l reCuirements %nd short

%nnot%tions* will provide the impetus for dem'stif'in+ le+%l writin+ %nd le+%l dr%ftin+. These

forms ome from %tu%l forms used in the %uthor<s pr%tie* some from worth' opponents %ndstill some from tr%dition%l form boos* with upd%tes to fit the urrent st%te of the Rules.

9hile this h%ndboo w%s produed* prim%ril'* with the b%r e%minees %nd the l%w internor l%w student in mind* it is hoped th%t it mi+ht prove helpful %s well when eptember ends? %nd
