Working on a big legal writing project? Not quite sure how to organize your thoughts and information? Perhaps making a checklist will help you out. In her new article, 'The Legal Writer's Checklist Manifesto', Jennifer Murphy Romig lays out the benefits of creating checklists to manage legal writing tasks. Checklists are not new to legal research - textbooks are full of them, however for legal writers, taking the time to create a checklist can assist them in avoiding editing errors, provide guidance in examining case law, and even help writers to avoid skipping valuable steps like analyzing and explaining legal authorities.
If you think you could benefit from a legal writing checklist, give Ms. Murphy Romig's article a read - you might develop a checklist that makes your legal writing standout from the crowd (in a good way).
