Here's an uncomfortable truth about litigation: the judge has already formed an impression of your case before you ever stand up to argue it — and that impression came from your brief.

Writing to Win: Persuasive Drafting 2026 is about closing that gap. In two focused hours, a panel of experienced drafters who will show you how to turn writing that simply states your position into writing that genuinely persuades.

What you'll take back to your desk:
- The judicial pet peeves that make a justice stop reading
- The plain-writing fundamentals that still win cases
- Organization and outlining that lead the reader toward yes
- The shortcuts worth taking to make room for what matters most
