Phi Alpha Delta Speaker Series: Legal Writing - Sacred Cows and Pet Peeves

by Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International

Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International, is hosting a virtual event titled "Legal Writing - Sacred Cows and Pet Peeves" as part of its Speaker Series. This session is scheduled for Monday, February 13, 2023, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time (5:00 PM Pacific Time) and will be conducted via Zoom.

The event will feature Hon. Samuel A. Thumma, who will address common pitfalls in legal writing, focusing on "sacred cows"—widely accepted practices that may warrant reevaluation—and "pet peeves"—elements that can disrupt reader engagement. The session aims to enhance participants' writing skills by identifying and avoiding these issues.

Moderated by Michelle Isherwood, the program is designed to be fast-paced, entertaining, and humorous, offering practical insights for legal professionals and students seeking to improve their writing proficiency.
