The Redbook (half-day)

Every law office needs expertise—true expertise—on producing first-rate documents: letters, contracts, motions, and appellate briefs.

You have that, you say? Likely not: errors abound, often costly ones. Garner’s seen them, even in the best firms’ work product.

Using the new third edition of his comprehensive restatement of legal style, The Redbook, Garner will teach you to:

Make fast and reliable decisions about all your legal documents.
Cultivate confidence in solving editorial problems peculiar to legal writing.
Produce documents that reflect well on you and your firm.
Become more knowledgeable about the nuances of legal usage.
