Lawyers are letter-writers—but they’re typically not great ones. They’re often pedestrian, stuffy, and unimaginative. But clients are people, or represented by people, and need that personal and informative touch without the layers of ambiguities hiding what their lawyers are trying to say. What should a letter do? What do you use a letter for? What are the tricks of the letter-writing trade? Professor Garner will teach you all these things and more. Through examples and explanations, Professor Garner will go through detailed descriptions of the writing process particular to writing letters, email, and other forms of written correspondence.

Discounts & Watching as a Group

Discounts are available as additional-viewer licenses. These are for groups simultaneously viewing a self-paced online seminar using one computer connection. When one participant pays the full list price, each additional viewer pays for an additional-viewer license—again, if all registrants view on one screen together. You can register your group by calling LawProse at 214-691-8588 or emailing info@lawprose.org or directly on our e-learning site.

Please note that the list price is for the purchase of a primary-viewer license (an individual license for a single viewing by a single viewer). You may purchase additional additional-viewer licenses that are priced at a discounted tuition rate on our e-learning site or contacting us at 214-691-8588. We ask for your cooperation in protecting our intellectual-property rights. We’re happy to help direct you to any particular course topic you’re looking for, to discuss group pricing, and to answer any other questions you may have.
