APPELLATE FACTUMS

UNIQUE CHALLENGE

Of all the forms of legal writing, appellate factums are my favourite. There is an art to working with the restrictions of a set record and standards of review that limit jurisdiction. I thrive in that sphere: finding the hook within the law and the meat within the facts to craft an argument that reels in the court.

GETTING CREATIVE

Judges consistently state that they crave written arguments that are concise and lucid: writing that makes the reading easy! I love the challenge of trying to simplify (but never oversimplify!) and present the argument in the most attractive way possible. I know ways to craft the argument so that your essential argument shines!
