Choosing A Legal Writing Coach

By Marcie Goodman


If you have recently joined the legal profession you want to be sure that you use the advantages available to you. While it helps to have the right qualifications there are other methods you can use to build up your skills. A good example of this is using the services of a legal writing coach.

In simple terms this is someone who can help you with writing a number of forms, statements and so forth. While being a representative often involves communicating verbally you need to be sure that what you are saying makes sense. Therefore it helps to have someone guide you through the process.

Therefore it helps to have someone to guide you through the process. You need to be sure that the person guiding you has the necessary experience. This will mean they are more likely to deal with specific details and help you through scenarios that they have experienced in the past.

However accuracy is not the only concern. There is also the quality of what you write. People are more likely to engage with what you write if it is interesting and well written. A coach can help you with this because they will know what people expect and to ensure that what you write is of the highest standard.

There is also the creative aspect. While you need to include all the details in a document or paper it also has to be reasonably well written. The danger is that people can skip over the terms of a contract if it has not been written in an interesting and engaging way so that people are more likely to understand it.

You need to be sure that the person offering coaching has the relevant qualifications. This will ensure that you have got someone who will offer you the right advice. If they are not qualified then there is the very real risk that you could get into trouble by writing inaccurate legal documents so this is something you should check very carefully before making a final decision and agreeing to use the services of a coach.

A good way to do this is to ask previous clients. Ideally the coach should have testimonials you can check. Talk to them directly and ask them whether or not they would recommend their services. This should then make it easier to narrow down the different options as you decide who is reliable and who people recommend. Ideally you want to choose from around three different options and make choice based on their level of experience and qualifications rather than who offers the lowest price for their services.

You can find various websites promoting the services of a legal writing coach. Ideally they should be willing to provide examples of their work and proof of their qualifications. This will make it easier to find a coach that is most appropriate for your personal requirements. It is also recommended that you check online for client feedback and customer reviews to see who will offer the most effective service to suit your requirements and help develop your legal writing skills.
