Update: I just found out that Bryan Garner will also be attending the luncheon and signing books. This is quite exciting for legal writing nerds like me!
Update: Congratulations to contest winner Kathleen St. Onge of Halloran & Sage LLP in Hartford, Connecticut. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest!
As you may know, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and legal writing guru Bryan Garner recently co-authored Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges Now, you can enter the LRWP Making Your Case contest for a chance to get legal writing advice directly from the horse’s mouth (although some would argue that anything from Scalia would be from the horse’s other end).
Putting politics aside, who wouldn’t want a chance to win a ticket to hear Scalia speak about legal writing? On August 9, he’ll be speaking in New York City at the annual meeting of Scribes-The American Society of Legal Writers. I’ve got an extra ticket to the event (which includes lunch), and I look forward to sharing this special opportunity with the lucky contest winner.
The winner will also receive a copy Making Your Case, so you’ll be ready for the book signing following Justice Scalia’s remarks.
As if that weren’t enough, when you enter the Making Your Case contest, you will receive a copy of the Legal Research & Writing Pro Legal Writing Resources List, which features free and low-cost resources to help you improve your legal writing skills. To enter, simply fill out the brief form below.
