Legal Writing Workshop, Lagos Sheraton, 1-2 May 2014 Legal Writing- The General Part YOUR WRITING SKILLS ARE YOUR GREATEST ASSET IN THE BUSINESS AND DISCIPLINE OF LAW . . . Writing well is the most vital and yet the rarest skill in law. Good writing boosts your ethos and sets you apart as an especially sound professional. You can significantly upgrade your writing skills by attending our legal-writing workshops. This 2-day workshop is an improvement on and expansion of our Legal Writing Fundamentals, now more intensive, with writing assignments and tasks. International best practices now require legal documents to be accessible to their end-users. Law is not just for lawyers, but for the whole community. The era of the law as a clannish, closed, almost-cultish club is over. This is the age of open communication and respect for lay clients. Like other businesses, law is a service, and clients paying for legal services should understand precisely what they are paying for.
