Clarity is the number one priority in legal writing.
Clarity is the number one priority in legal writing.
The key to good legal writing is clarity. Exceptional clarity persuades. Unclarity sows doubt.
Not key? Originality. Humor. Cleverness. A distinctive voice. Torrents of peripheral legal authority. Demonstrations of opposing counsel’s stupidity and bad faith.
Edit for clarity.

I have a joke about a sua sponte order. No one asked for it but I'm going to force it on you anyway.
I have an appellate lawyer joke, but I didn’t preserve it below
I have a res judicata joke, but you’ve probably already heard it

After a long career as a litigator, I now work for the judiciary. I really really regret every snark or borderline snark I ever included in a motion or brief, even when OC deserved it. It's ugly to read. Yuck.

I left private practice after decades of biz lit and a 3-yr hiatus to care for mom at the end of her life. Been a chambers attorney for an appellate justice for 9 mos and so far, love it. My fellow research attorneys/career clerks - any tips on how to get good at this quick?
