CLE Workshops in Legal Writing and Editing

Marilyn conducts in-house CLE workshops in legal writing and editing at law firms and at corporate and government legal offices. A workshop or seminar can be included in your new lawyer orientation program or your annual retreat. Legal writing training programs for CLE associations are also available.

A lawyer herself, Marilyn understands the time pressures lawyers frequently face. Her group sessions -- usually half-day sessions -- will help your lawyers improve their writing and editing skills without taking too much time away from their work.
