A little heads up to readers in the Dallas area. The Appellate Record will be on the road, live and in person at the Dallas Bar Association Appellate Law Section on June 16. The seminar will be at the Belo Mansion at high noon.
Robert Gilbreath and I will be presenting a program called "Don't Be Ugly" about how to enhance the persuasive power of your legal writing just through better typography and document design.
- We'll be using actual briefing examples from a number of real cases.
- We'll stack the Microsoft defaults and the briefing rules up against standards of good typography.
- We'll mock Times New Roman.
- We'll joust about footnotes.
It will be nerd-o-riffic. So be there or be square.
Or, squarer.
