WRITING STYLE
by: Caren Mansfield, a
member of the Illinois
Paralegal Association
Comes now this author
heretofore before you and
witnesseth in print to regur-
gitate information to those
who review this discourse.
In other words I’m here to
talk about writing style. No,
Virginia, not what to wear
when you are writing,
though those jackets with
the leather elbows do look
smart, but how to create the
way you write.
Paralegals most often are
assigned writing projects
that must reflect the writing
style of the supervising
attorney. So how can a para-
legal create a writing style?
One way is to gradually
change the writing style of
the supervising attorney.
Maybe that sounds presump-
tuous but if the supervising
attorney still uses those
herewithforeeverafter words
one way to start changing a
writing style is to start elim-
inating those superfluous
adverbs and adjectives.
With rare exceptions such
words contribute little to the
content of a document. For
many years some non-
lawyers believed the lan-
guage used by attorneys in
contracts and other docu-
ments was deliberately craft-
ed to confuse and confound
the nonlawyer thus requiring
an attorney’s services.
Lawyers never did anything
to explain why such words
were used. Certainly the
trend in legal writing cours-
es and seminars the past few
years has been to simplify
language in documents.
Indeed, many court rules use
terms such as short, concise,
and simple in describing
information required in
briefs.
A first step in creating a
writing style is developing
the manner in which docu-
ments are prepared. Think
about the document and
what should be accom-
plished. Just imagine a para-
legal having an opportunity
to plan ahead! (Joke).
Determine the purpose of
the document. Will it be
persuasive, informative, a
combination? Should it be
formal or informal?
The next step is setting
down on paper the informa-
tion to be conveyed. Will
you prepare an outline?
Many authors use an outline
