The Lane Train Living His Best Life

[God is a Husker]

Very underrated effort right here!

Although you misspelled 'Attorney' at the bottom. Beth Reed will lose is freaking mind.

I almost put my Bar number too but caught myself halfway through typing it

The effort was great, but I don't think you used enough filler phrases like "wheretoas" and "heretofor."

My dad's attorney used to write letters with so many of the filler words that we would literally be tearing up from laughing so hard.

Now that would have been classic.

one of the best classes I ever took was a drafting class taught by an old professor who was actually a very successful lawyer for years before moving to academia.... in stark contrast to probably 50-75% of law professors who went from law school to clerking for a circuit court judge to back to academia or some other similar not real life type of "career" before they entered fake life


he hated belt and suspenders drafting and 200 year old words

he hated forms because the majority of the time a firm hadn't updated it in years and 1/2 of it was useless and not needed

you should know exactly why you used every word you used and you should write to prevent confusion (of your client, of the court and of any opposing party)

you never want your client to say: "I didn't know I couldn't do that" or "I didn't know I was supposed to do XYZ"


PS: cards on the table I almost used “WHEREAS” twice in my post.

I have a hard time writing any email without "at any rate," so I get it. Old habits are hard to break.
