The legal industry relies upon the writings and communications of lawyers, judges, and lawmakers. For the citizens and clients who are subject to these legal writings, understanding the legalese is painfully frustrating. We were asked by a fan of the show (in full disclosure, it was Greg’s sister-in-law Wendy) why lawyers can’t write in plain English.

But I wanted to do something before I said something. When you spill ink decrying the lack of substance…

Last Friday evening I attended Winter Jazz Fest, an annual New York City tradition that sees hundreds of performers playing a dozen or more venues over a few nights each January.

And like many epiphanies, it came from just one small comment, which served as the straw. The survey was of law firm business professionals on their roles and challenges within big firms.
