    ON WRITING, LEGALLY

    Therefore, its name was called Babel,because there the Lord confused thelanguage of all the earth. Genesis, 11:9,ESV

    4f brevit is the sou+ of wit what now is to beome of +awers (and +aw students) who

    wou+d nonha+ant+ write a 100#a-e doument and dare a++ it a ,Brief3:

    The traditiona+ notion of +e-a+ writin- is that it is a ometition to ut to-ether as

    man four to five#s++ab+e words in a one#ara-rah sentene. The +an-ua-e of the +aw

    mstifies and with this omes the ower of the +awer for the more obsure and obtuse; the

    +an-ua-e the -reater the need for a +awer.

    Histor has -iven us man +an-ua-e handias and obsta+es to +arit and reision.

    Throu-hout four or five ears of +aw shoo+ the +aw student who eventua++ beomes a+awer is trained to thin8 in arhai words and hrases/ favorite and man of m students wi++ attest to this is the abso+ute+ arhai Comes Now, the Plaintiff,by the undersigned counsel, unto this onorable Court, res!ectfully states that" as art of ever +eadin-. =h

    waste 1B words when F wi++ do thusG Plaintiff, by counsel, res!ectfully states that"#The +atter +oses none ofthe +e-a+ -ravitas but +oses ever bit of the arhai retense that mstifies the +aw and eretuates the notion that

    +awers 8now what the are doin- eah and ever time.B

    4t was ori-ina++ intended as a bar eAamination -uide and as a teahin- too+ for evidene and roedure+asses.

    4t is hoed that the forms resented here with he8+istsFof +e-a+ reCuirements and

    short annotations wi++ rovide the imetus for demstifin- +e-a+ writin- and +e-a+ draftin-.

    These forms ome from atua+ forms used in the author@s ratie some from worth

    oonents and sti++ some from traditiona+ form boo8s with udates to fit the urrent state of

    the Ru+es.

    =hi+e this handboo8 was rodued rimari+ with bar eAaminees and the +aw intern

    or +aw student in mind it is hoed that it mi-ht rove he+fu+ as we++ when %etember ends 7
