ON WRITING, LEGALLY

Therefore, its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. Genesis, 11:9, ESV

If brevity is the soul of wit, what now is to become of lawyers (and law students) who would nonchalantly write a 100-page document and dare call it a Brief?

The traditional notion of legal writing is that it is a competition to put together as many four to five-syllable words in a one-paragraph sentence. The language of the law mystifies and with this comes the power of the lawyer. The more obscure and obtuse the language, the greater the need for a lawyer.

History has given us many language handicaps and obstacles to clarity and precision. Throughout four years of law school, the law student, who eventually becomes a lawyer, is trained to think in archaic words and phraseslegalesewhich appear to have legal significance but is actually too imprecise to help anyone understand what is going on. And to add to the babelish situation, there are hundreds of words in a dead languageLatinthat have little relevance to the contemporary world.

There is a sea change, however, going on in legal writing. More and more, pleaders are asked to be clear and concise, precise not pedantic. Why waste five words when three will do?3 But change, as always, is difficult and painful. Yet, it is an essential response to todays evolving legal profession. Indeed, when the most common means now of communicating is text, with its own subculture and lingo, there must be a re-examination of the archaic manner by which legal writing presents itself.

What this short introduction to the accompanying handbook of Pleadings, Petitions, Motions and Other Legal and Judicial Forms seeks to do is to put forth the need to write clearly and concisely, precisely but not pedantically.

When a judges attention span is short and his backlog of reading is long, the need to write concisely, clearly, precisely but not pedantically becomes absolutely clear.

Writing concisely and not pedantically, however, does not mean that the legal writer ought to cut corners when it comes to substance as well as form; the only thing that that guarantees is a baleful stare and a rude dismissal from the judge. Not only must the writer know the arguments and the bases for his arguments, but she must also realize that these arguments need to be presented in a manner that is technically sufficient.

3 My favorite, and many of my students will attest to this, is the absolutely archaic Comes Now, the Plaintiff, by the

undersigned counsel, unto this Honorable Court, respectfully states that as part of every pleading. Why waste 15 words, when 6 will do, thus: Plaintiff, by counsel, respectfully states that. The latter loses none of the legal gravitas but loses every bit of the archaic pretense that mystifies the law and perpetuates the notion that laywers know what they are doing each and every time.

& 10&

It is hoped that the forms presented here, with checklists4 of legal requirements and short annotations, will provide the impetus for demystifying legal writing and legal drafting. These forms come from actual forms used in the authors practice, some from worthy opponents and still some from traditional form books, with updates to fit the current state of the Rules.

While this handbook was produced, primarily, with the bar examinees and the law intern or law student in mind, it is hoped that it might prove helpful as well when September ends5 and life, as a lawyer, begins in earnest.

)0"",6.)&NOTE: There is no need to attach a Notice of Hearing for a Pre-Trial Brief. Also, pre-trial is now mandatory in criminal cases under Rule 118, 2000 Rules on Criminal Procedure as well as under RA 8493 (The Speedy Trial Act), although neither the law nor the Rules require the submission of a Pre-Trial Brief in criminal cases (in practice, courts also do not require the submission of a pre-trial brief in criminal cases). Consequently, the requirement of a pre-trial brief and the consequences for failure to submit one (e.g., non-suit or dismissal) appear to pertain exclusively to civil cases.

)0"",6.)&Variably and acceptably denominated by others as Formal Offer of Documentary Exhibits; please note that this applies to criminal and civil cases. In criminal cases, the private prosecutor has no personality to formally offer the evidence, thus, the offer is made in the name of the prosecution.

)0"",6.)&If the question calls for an Offer of Evidence by the Accused/Defense, then the proper 1st par. should read: The Accused (Defendant), by counsel, respectfully offers his/her documentary exhibits in support of his/her defenses, as follows:. Invariably, the Offer of Evidence is made in table or column form such that it would be easier for the Court to see the Exhibit No., Description and Purpose but, for purposes of the Bar, this would not be practicable nor practical. All that is important is that the Offer contain the Exhibit Number, a description of the Exhibit and the Purpose of Offer.

)0"",6.)&This is a common mistake for any legal document submitted by a private prosecutor. It is important to remember that the private prosecutor has no personality to do anything in a criminal case as everything is under the control and direction of the public prosecutor. Thus, every legal document must be signed by both the public prosecutor and the private prosecutor. Note that it would also be acceptable to have the Offer that is prepared by a private prosecutor signed by the public prosecutor to show his conformity thereto.
