LAW FIRMS WE’VE TRAINED

WRITING TRANSFORMATION

Learn to write like the best

Before

The plaintiff has blatantly violated this Court’s critical filing rules, specifically, the Court’s deadline for filing a pleading. The plaintiff filed its original complaint three years before the instant complaint’s filing. Said complaint was dismissed in its entirety by this Honorable Court. The mandatory case law of this jurisdiction makes very clear that parties may not cite to dismissed complaints to meet a filing deadline, for a variety of reasons
  • Bland verbs and adverbs make reading a bore.
  • Empty formalisms bog down busy readers.
  • Abstract and vague words confuse readers.

After

The plaintiff can’t sidestep this Court’s filing deadline by reaching for a dead document three years after it was filed—and dismissed. Resurrecting stale complaints like this is, in the words of this Court, “nearly never” worth it. Courts have learned that the facts shift, witnesses disappear, and the judge’s time is wasted. The Court can’t expect to save resources or move the case closer to a conclusion. What the Court can expect is many more months of litigation. 
  • Tighten with targeted verbs and nouns.
  • Use sentence structure like clustered examples.
  • Add flair with inverted syntax and echo words.
