Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

A colleague, who has devoted most of his career to legal writing, has developed an excellent solution. In a recent talk at the University of Denver College of Law, C. Edward Good, author and "writer in residence" at a law firm, delivered a one-hour talk teaching our students that the most efficient way to improve writing is by developing "verb-based style."
