"Cases are about people. Shouldn’t they be able to read what is happening to them?" Judge Painter asks in his seminars. In The Legal Writer, he expands on that theme, and offers 40 rules for lawyers to follow in changing their writing style. Since 1998, Judge Painter has given 33 legal writing seminars, instructing lawyers and judges on how to make their words understandable—not only to other lawyers, but to the public. He also writes a monthly column on writing for Ohio Lawyers Weekly. That column is being reprinted by the bar associations of Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cuyahoga County, and nationwide in Lawyers Weekly USA.
