Greedy Trial Lawyer
Primer On Blogging Like A Lawyer
Category: Why Didn't I Think Of That?
When I was a youngster, many trials ago, I wanted to grow up to be a disk jockey. So, I practiced the jazzed-up jargon of the local DJ's when nobody was around. My "training" was probably deficient since I never went live over the airwaves with my patter. Over at The Blorg sounding like a lawyer writing a blog is the fantasy curriculum. Who knew that one day I would be the emulated one?
How to write like a lawyer blogger
I was brain-storming ideas on how to make with the mad blog hits, and I figured being a lawyer would help greatly. Since I'm not a lawyer, I was trying to think of ways to sound like a lawyer.1. Don't copy-edit your work. The people know what you meant to write.
2. Can't get your idea out in the first paragraph? Keep going until it works. Don't worry if it takes you a few thousand words, you'll get it right.
3. We all know what them fancy lawyerin' terms mean. Don't bother explaining them.
4. Use pig latin phrases....lawyers get tired of the regular latin. Instead of "quid pro quo"...try "uidqay ropay oquay" Ergo propter hoc....goray ropterpay ochay. Works every time.
