English as a Second Language - or Why Lawyers Can't Write

Harold P. Southerland
Florida State University College of Law



St. Thomas Law Review, Vol. 18, p. 53, 2005-2006
FSU College of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 289

Abstract:     
I have spent thirty-five years reading the writing of law students, and much of it is bad. Students will take with them for tomorrow the skills they possess today, and those skills are poor. Why the ineptness, and can anything be done about it?

Keywords: education, legal
