INTRO:

In this lesson, you will come to see that when you attempt legal writing, you must be brief and to the point. There is nothing worst than to get a 200 page document to try to muttle through. It is different when you are appealing or filing a criminal complaint. You might have to be a little more detailed. When you write a brief, take the surface meaning of that word and keep your brief very "brief". Letters, affidavits, documents, and other types of communication with government or courts must be short, to the point and contain only necessary things. We will start by looking at the what, when why where or hows of documents.

DEFINITION:
