Legal Language IS Important!

If you haven't listened to your professors, your librarians or your LRW instructors perhaps you will listen to members of our profession! The devotion you pay to your legal researching, writing and advocacy is important.

Thanks to Bryan Garner and Law Prose you can get valuable insights from US Supreme Court justices, sitting during the 2006-2007 term, regarding the need to pay attention to your legal research and writing ability. What makes these interviews so interesting is the willingness of these justices to discuss their craft. Great listening. Enjoy.
