Legal Writing Launch's Mission and Products

Legal Writing Launch (LWL) will provide a compact and thorough legal writing training course.

The Course can be for lawyers—new or experienced, as well as paralegals and other legal professionals, including those in Human Resources. It is Designed to transform participants’ legal writing and analytical skills in a short period of time.

The Course can be Customized for your agency or provided as access in its existing platform.

Available Course Types

Custom Legal Writing Training

LWL can provide custom legal writing training for your particular organization, focusing in these areas:

  • Email drafting for the professional legal workplace
  • Writing legal memos
  • Drafting letters—informational, demand, and opinion
  • Persuasively writing motions, and trial and appellate briefs (for courts)
  • Creating concise executive summaries and agency opinions
  • Using professional-level grammar for the workplace
  • Providing proper citations (e.g., The Blue Book)
  • Drafting the type of documents required for the particular agency

The Existing Online Platform

  • LWL offers three levels of its existing on-line program—the Basic Course, Assignment Editing, and Zoom Mentoring (which includes Assignment Editing).
  • The founder recommends the Basic Course ($199 per student, plus a group discount) for paralegals and non-lawyers
  • The founder recommends the higher two levels—Assignment Editing ($599/per student plus a group discount) or Zoom Mentoring (which includes Assignment Editing and is $999/student plus a group discount) for attorneys
    • In the two higher levels, students will draft seven short assignments, which the founder or another experienced legal writer will edit
    • These assignments include: a power-packed paragraph, two kinds of memos, an opinion letter, a demand letter, motion, and an appellate brief (with references to the record)

Differentiators

There are not too many choices of courses to take, but instead only two:

  • Custom legal writing training, designed for the specific needs of your organization
  • The existing legal writing platform, which consists of:
    • the Basic Course, which is all electronic
    • Assignment Editing, which includes the Basic Course and seven assignments, which an experienced editor will edit, or
    • Zoom Mentoring, which includes Assignment Editing.
      • At this level, students will meet with the experienced lawyer and editor, who edited the last assignment as well as all of the student’s assignments
      • The editor will provide balanced feedback—what the student is now doing right as well as the ways in which the student still needs to improve

“Bev Meyers . . . conducted a training for the associates at our firm on how to be more effective legal writers. The training was excellent! Bev taught our associates not only about how to write in a clear, concise manner without legalese, but she also taught them how to effectively organize their writing using the “Power Packed Paragraph.” As a supervising attorney, I am looking forward to seeing a marked improvement in our associates’ ability to write clearly and persuasively. Thank you so much Bev!”

“As an attorney for the U.S General Services Administration – a federal government agency, I enhanced my analytical and legal writing skills significantly by taking Legal Writing Launch (Course or LWL). The Course offered me an excellent refresher on legal analysis and writing principles that I could apply immediately to my daily work. I use these newly improved skills in drafting responses to time-sensitive client inquiries, drafting procurement-related documents, and composing professional emails. Beyond improving my own writing, LWL has equipped me with valuable editing and feedback skills that will serve me well as I supervise junior attorneys. Bev’s dedication to each student’s success and her comprehensive understanding of legal writing principles make this course an invaluable investment for any government attorney looking to strengthen their legal writing foundation.”
