Originally published in the September 20, 2012 issue of LitigationWorld: Thanks to Schoolhouse Rock, Generation X lawyers likely have a better understanding of conjunctions than other lawyers. But many litigators, including Gen-xers, mistakenly believe that you cannot start sentences with conjunctions. In this issue of LitigationWorld, lawyer and legal writing expert Ed Good busts this myth, and provides other tips on using conjunctions to improve your legal writing. Also, if you listen closely to that Schoolhouse Rock song, you'll hear one instance in which the conductor starts a sentence with a conjunction.
