We've released a new course! This one is a must-watch if you want a new way to think about lawyering. And believe me, you do. The scales will fall from your eyes! *Elizabeth de Stadler 🎈takes us on a wild ride*  Miraka Davies, Elizabeth, and I rocket through the worlds of: • comic contracts • humour in law • what makes a good contract (hint: it’s not what you’d expect!) • designing and structuring contracts  • the mental biases that keep us stuck thinking they have to be long and incomprehensible. The link is in the comments. *Who is Elizabeth de Stadler?* Once a litigation attorney, Elizabeth now refers to herself as a rehabilitated lawyer. She’s a plain language fanatic, a killer of legalese, and her clients say that ‘they pay her to delete things’. Her habit of ‘getting really into things’ has resulted in her writing books on consumer and privacy law. Elizabeth is passionate about educating lawyers and Muggles that legal documents are not special – the same principles of good communication and (un)professional writing apply. #PlainLanguageTraining #LegalWriting #ClearCommunication
