 ON WRITING, LEGALLY

“Therefore, its name was called Babel, because

there the Lord confused the language of all the
earth.” – Genesis, 11:9, ESV

If brevity is the soul of wit, what now is to become of lawyers (and law students) who
would nonchalantly write a 100-page document and dare call it a “Brief”?

The traditional notion of legal writing is that it is a competition to put together as many
four to five-syllable words in a one-paragraph sentence. The language of the law mystifies and
with this comes the power of the lawyer. The more obscure and obtuse the language, the greater
the need for a lawyer.

History has given us many language handicaps and obstacles to clarity and precision.
Throughout four years of law school, the law student, who eventually becomes a lawyer, is
trained to think in archaic words and phrases–legalese–which appear to have legal significance
but is actually too imprecise to help anyone understand what is going on. And to add to the
babelish situation, there are hundreds of words in a dead language–Latin–that have little
relevance to the contemporary world.

There is a sea change, however, going on in legal writing. More and more, pleaders are
asked to be clear and concise, precise not pedantic. Why waste five words when three will do?3
But change, as always, is difficult and painful. Yet, it is an essential response to today’s evolving
legal profession. Indeed, when the most common means now of communicating is text, with its
own subculture and lingo, there must be a re-examination of the archaic manner by which legal
writing presents itself.

What this short introduction to the accompanying handbook of Pleadings, Petitions,

Motions and Other Legal and Judicial Forms seeks to do is to put forth the need to write clearly
and concisely, precisely but not pedantically.

When a judge’s attention span is short and his backlog of reading is long, the need to
write concisely, clearly, precisely but not pedantically becomes absolutely clear.

Writing concisely and not pedantically, however, does not mean that the legal writer
ought to cut corners when it comes to substance as well as form; the only thing that that
guarantees is a baleful stare and a rude dismissal from the judge. Not only must the writer know
the arguments and the bases for his arguments, but she must also realize that these arguments
need to be presented in a manner that is technically sufficient.

3
My favorite, and many of my students will attest to this, is the absolutely archaic “Comes Now, the Plaintiff, by the
undersigned counsel, unto this Honorable Court, respectfully states that” as part of every pleading. Why waste 15
words, when 6 will do, thus: “Plaintiff, by counsel, respectfully states that”. The latter loses none of the legal
gravitas but loses every bit of the archaic pretense that mystifies the law and perpetuates the notion that laywers
know what they are doing each and every time.
& 1&
 It is hoped that the forms presented here, with checklists4 of legal requirements and short
annotations, will provide the impetus for demystifying legal writing and legal drafting. These
forms come from actual forms used in the author’s practice, some from worthy opponents and
still some from traditional form books, with updates to fit the current state of the Rules.

While this handbook was produced, primarily, with the bar examinees and the law intern
or law student in mind, it is hoped that it might prove helpful as well when September ends5 and
life, as a lawyer, begins in earnest.
