Persuasion is the Lawyer’s Money Game

by Peter Smythe on 10 November 2009 in persuasion with Comments Off

There are only two things lawyers get paid for: writing persuasively and speaking persuasively. It’s not as if those are two important things among many. They are the only two things. That’s it. And your writing comes first. When you improve your writing, your speaking will automatically become better. The contrary isn’t necessarily true at all.—Bryan Garner, Telling the Good from the Bad
