By Kathryn Hughes | Tuesday, December 18, 2012

Originally published in the April 5, 2012 issue of LitigationWorld: Talented writers possess many tricks of the trade, one of which consists of knowing how to transition to keep the story going and not break the flow.

Specifically, you'll learn how to "relate" between old and new information on both a micro and macro level. These tools will increase both the clarity and persuasiveness of your briefs and memos.
