Originally published in the June 18, 2012 issue of LitigationWorld: Here at TechnoLawyer we constantly think about information architecture. This important discipline is not confined to commercial publishing. It also plays an important role in legal writing. In this issue of LitigationWorld, lawyer and legal writing expert Ed Good explains how to use two powerful information architecture tools in your briefs, memos, and letters — lists (enumerations) and headings. You'll learn about the three types of lists, when and how to use them, and the most common mistakes — plus many examples. Similarly, you'll learn how to use and not use headings. Also, don't miss the LitigationWorld Pick of the Week for tips on how to find deleted email in Microsoft Outlook since that's often where you'll find the email messages that make or break a case.
