A while back on his legal writing blog, my former teacher Wayne Schiess asked:

What legal words or phrases would you like to banish?

They can be archaic, offensive, baffling, weasel-like, or hyperlegal.

This may be cheating, because it’s not a word or phrase, but I’d like to see all the overly flowery stuff go. Just say what you mean.

Do Me A Favor... (Vote for Best Law Blog)

Austin Criminal Defense Lawyer  Fri, 11/02/2007 - 9:19pm

Seriously, anyone that reads this blog on a regular basis, please head over to the 2007 Weblog Awards and vote for Scott Greenfield’s Simple Justice in the best law blog category.

#1) Scott/Simple Justice deserves it on the merits.

#2) Criminal defense lawyer blogging is still in its infancy; those of us that are interested need to promote it.
