Scott is an adjunct professor at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law where he teaches Legal Communication & Analysis. In our conversation we discuss the importance of finding a practice area that “fits and fills your cup,” what SBA lawyers do and why the practice area is growing, the unique nature of doing transactional work in a regulated area of law, ways to build your personal brand and book of business even as a new lawyer, why taking ownership of a case and a task (even if it is something as simple as ripping out staples) is the ticket to a successful legal career, the power of sharing publicly and building a brand, and more.

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. We pulled together a panel of four experts on legal communications and asked them just that. It turns out that writing in plain English is not only possible, but it is the preferred method of legal writing. Our guests on this episode are: Neil Guthrie - Director, Professional Development, Research, and Knowledge Management, at Aired & Berlis LLP in Toronto. Author of Guthrie's Guide to Better Legal Writing. Chris Trudeau – Law and Medical Professor at the University of Arkansas/ Little Rock and author of The Public Speaks: An Empirical Study of Legal Communication. As well as journal articles on plain English writing for lawyers in Healthcare. Jesse Katz – Litigation Editor at O'Melveny and Myers, as well as a Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist before taking on his editing role. Sara Harris – Jackson Walker associate who is known for her writing skills, and is an editor for the American Lawyer's Young Lawyer Editorial Board. Suggested Reading List Typography for Lawyers Plain English for Lawyers Letting Go of the Words Information Inspirations Greg got to drop in on a Houston Young Lawyer Association meeting for First-Generation Lawyers on the topic of lawyer recruiting. The meeting was great, but the biggest impact was made by a question a minority law student was asked on why his experience as a person of color would bring value to the firm. Is that something a firm should even be asking? Marlene geeks out over Evan Parker's article on How to Talk Data and Influence People, Including Lawyers. This dovetailed nicely with our guests' discussion on presenting the information in a way that tells a story and presents information in a way that is understandable by the reader. Data analytics is just another method of communicating. The trick is communicating in a way that actually makes sense and informs.

In this episode, Derek H. Kiernan-Johnson, Professor of Legal Writing at the University of Colorado Law School, discusses his article "The Potemkin Temptation or, The Intoxicating Effect of Rhetoric and Narrativity on American Craft Whiskey," which was published in Legal Communication & Rhetoric, the Journal of the Association of Legal Writing Directors. Kiernan-Johnson begins by briefly describing the history of whiskey production in the United States, from the colonial era to the present "craft distiller" craze. Then he describes the emergence of "Potemkin distillers," or putative craft distillers who actually purchase mass-produced generic whiskey and deceptively sell it as an "artisanal" product. He explains how and why they use narrative strategies to obscure their misleading practices, and provides some tips about how to identify ersatz craft whiskies. He closes with some regulatory proposals that could help protect consumers.Keywords: Typography, Narrative, Persuasion, Rhetoric, Judicial Decisionmaking, Graphic Design See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
