Description
Legal writing is a method of communication which focuses on the exactness and conciseness of words and their meaning. The interpretation of a legal document could impact the life, liberty or property of a person so it is important that the manner in which one engages in legal writing is consistent with established legal doctrine. Legal writing also assists in the interpretation of preceding laws.
