Are good brief writers necessarily excellent authors of thought leadership? Guest Ross Guberman is the President of both Legal Writing Pro and BriefCatch, who has delivered thousands of legal-writing workshops on four continents and is the opinion-writing trainer for all new federal judges. He's also written several bestselling books, including the Amazon bestseller Point Made: How to Write Like the Nation's Top Advocates and Point Taken: How to Write Like the World’s Greatest Judges.
