James C. Raymond, Ph.D., LLC

Executive-Class Seminars in Legal Writing and Reasoning

Professor Emeritus, the University of Alabama, former editor of College English;

President, The International Institute for Legal Writing + Reasoning.

Professor Raymond has published numerous books and articles and conducted programs on legal writing for judges, lawyers, law students, centers for continuing legal education, and international tribunals in more than thirty countries.

His seminars are not just about editing legal documents after they are written. He has developed a fundamentally new approach to identifying, arranging, contextualizing, and analyzing issues. As a result, judges and lawyers produce better judgments and pleadings in less time—eliminating jargon, irrelevant details, poor organization, fuzzy reasoning, costly mistakes, and strategic errors.
