LEVEL UP YOUR LEGAL WRITING Techniques and Technology to Supercharge Your Skills, First Edition
Joe Regalia

Unlock the power of legal writing. From drafting memos to honing an appellate brief, Aspen Publishing’s Level Up Your Legal Writing: Techniques and Technology to Supercharge Your Skills goes beyond the basics with highly effective techniques for amplifying your message, animating your narrative, and leveraging AI and tech tools to elevate your craft.

Grounded in more than a decade of research by Joe Regalia, co-founder of Write.law, these tools have been used to transform how law students, paralegals, lawyers, and judges level up their writing style, develop their own authentic voice, connect with their reader, leverage technology, and learn to enjoy the writing process once again—or for the first time. Joe and the Write.law team use these same strategies to train the top legal writers in the world: from Fortune 100 in-house teams to federal trial and appellate courts to the top AmLaw firms and everything in between. And now, this playbook for the best legal writing is available to you. With a forward-thinking, integrated approach to the role of technology readers will be prepared to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving, high-tech legal landscape.

Readers will benefit from:
  • Complete coverage of legal writing, from rule synthesis and storytelling to the mechanics of writing and advanced rhetorical style
  • Leveling up the structure, design, and style of legal documents with sample memos, motions, and briefs
  • Hundreds of examples from an array of leading legal writers that demonstrate each principle and technique
  • The “how and why” of each technique, so you can make informed choices when using them
  • A step-by-step guide to the writing process, from brainstorming and outlining to drafting and editing the final product
  • A focus on using technology efficiently and appropriately throughout the writing process
  • Chapter-by-chapter Write.law tutorials and exercises intended to help students practice every technique iteratively and interactively
