Step one in becoming a strong writer is to become a strong reader. We recommend that you undertake a concerted effort to read the best expository writing of our day. You might well start with the nonfiction pieces in Harper’s, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic. It’s a matter of upgrading your understanding of how effective exposition works—especially exposition of difficult subjects.
That, after all, is what lawyers do every day, in both speech and writing.
But few do it nearly as well as they might. So read—not in law, but in allied disciplines. Discover new methods that way. You’ll surpass the other lawyers who never think to do this.
