I couldn’t agree more. From the Legal Writing Institute listserv this morning: 

“A high undergrad GPA was no guarantee of good writing skills, nor was a master’s degree.

Bottom line: Transcripts—even stellar ones—don’t always reflect a skill-set essential to law school and bar exam success. A post-admission exam would identify students who lack basic writing skills, and areas of concern for boot camp instructors. And while online grammar programs can certainly help, an intensive pre-semester writing class (boot camp) would be far more effective in preparing students for what’s to come, in my opinion.” 

If you need a quick overview, check out my CLE on basic disability law in educational settings.

If you’re wondering, “what’s it all about,” check out the CLE that I taught  recently about collaborative law.

Unintentionally, many, many years ago, I was honored at my firm to be the guy to manage all the mass tort cases of which the claimant had coincidentally had a bankruptcy. I have probably handled more than 1000 of these cases. It is a tedious piece of mass tort settlement resolution.

I recently presented a seminar to paralegals at a local mass tort law firm, and I created this informatic piece to help explain. 

You are welcome to use it in your classes or at your firms, as long as you leave my information and logo on it. And let me know that you found it useful! 

Enjoy! 

How nice to see my article about the Florida Family Law Bounds of Advocacy picked up by a prominent e-journal:
