"Plaintiffs-Petitioners (“Plaintiffs”) ".
Wow, the plaintiffs are the petitioners! And shockingly will be referred to as plaintiffs as opposed to...
Great complaint, fighting a good cause, but really need to improve your writing.

Anyway, the citation issue is one I've thought a lot about and likely will continue to think a lot about (see, e.g., FN 144 here): papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... If anyone wants to think about this with me, I'd love to hear your thoughts. #LegalWriting #Bluebooksky

We have gotten the collection Classical Rhetoric & Contemporary Law: A Critical Reader over the finish line. An accessible text for scholars and students (#LawProfs, #argumentation, #LegalWriting, #TeamRhetoric)—and curious lawyers in #LawFedi. Introduces the complex relationship between ancient western thought and contemporary law and the long history of some rhetorical concepts and practices that advocates and judges are still using today (not always for the better). https://www.uapress.ua.edu/9780817361396/classical-rhetoric-and-contemporary-law/

#Appellate Nibs

Today kicks off what will be a weekly series of short appellate practice tips offered for fun and conversation, mostly aimed at the newer #lawyer and #lawstudent crowd, as well as practice-oriented #lawprofs. Many will concern #legalwriting or #oralargument. Some will be more general thoughts on #law practice.

Quick Notes:

(1) My work is chiefly in the Oregon state appellate courts and in the 9th Circuit. Rules of practice vary. So will your experience, so please chime in!

Hi legal ed friends, working on a new chapter & looking for a few folks who might be willing to share a retrieval technique they use in their (doctrinal & any skills) classrooms: low-stakes quizzing, summarizing points from last unit, etc. #LegalEd #LegalWriting #LawLibrarians /1

Really any activity you do where all students pull what they've learned out of their memory without notes. If you might be interested, plesse let me know. #LegalEd #LawLibrarians #LegalWriting /2

The journal _Argumentation_ has accepted “Reconceiving Argument Schemes as Descriptive and Practically Normative.” This thread summarizes our revision of work of #DouglasWalton et al. I argue here (and elsewhere) that #ArgumentSchemes are essential for making sense of #LegalArguments and #LegalReasoning. 1/6

Thanks in part to great suggestions I've had over the last couple days about making my Mastodon experience even better, I'm following a bunch of folks from #lawfedi #philosophy and #CommStudies. Just sayin in case I look like some kinda crazy follow-bot. I use hashtags to post on and track topics I'm interested in. Follow back if any of these are your gigs:

#TeamRhetoric #WritingStudies #TechComm #LegalWriting friends: I'm on a project with a long #PDF report where I must ensure its compliance with #Section508 and other federal regulations relating to #DocumentAccessibility . I'm hoping to go beyond mere legal compliance, though, and seek state-of-the-art accessibility resources. I can search the web (and have), but I'm interested in resources you have actually used or supervised others using that you have found especially useful. Boost plz!

Hello! I'm an #appellate #attorney practicing in the #Boston-based #litigation firm Milligan Rona Duran & King LLC. I also #teach #legalwriting at the Boston University School of Law. Professionally, my interests are in #criminallaw, #iplitigation, #ethics, and #civilrights. Outside of work, I enjoy #music in most genres, sports (like #baseball and #basketball), and #manga (especially the work of Tatsuki #Fujimoto). I use #emacs, and when I program, I prefer programming in #lisp. #introduction

I'm making the fediverse what I want it to be. Things I most want to see in my feed:

- legal banter; I enjoy #lawprofs, #legalwriting, and #legaltech most of all
- interesting tidbits, esp from #science and #culture
- all the #scifi and #fantasyfiction
- cute fluffy #animals
- #gaming & gamer news
- #LGBTQlA & #queer folx
- many #musician & #artist accounts
- wholesome #memes
- #provax and #prochoice people

If you fall into any of those categories, I want to follow you and encourage you to follow me for occasional nuggets of... well, not wisdom, but something near to it. I can read English, French, and a bit of German and Japanese. I mostly post in English.

#legalwriting #lawprofs #lawtwitter, #appellatetwitter, I'm putting together a team. Who wants to work with me on exploring @[email protected] for #lawschool and #lawpractice writing? Statement of Facts for a case, a memo, briefing! #AppellateMastadon #AppellateTooter #appellatesocial

Okay, legal writers, what are your favorite lawyer-speak barbs? Like, what do you say when you mean "OMG, you have no idea what you are talking about" or "cool, cool, you clearly didn't do the reading" but the document is going to be (or might be) read by a judge?
