Deadline to Register: October 14,
2017
Most lawyers draft new documents by finding old documents and modifying them
to work for the next case or client (by either direct modification or
dictation/transcription). While that approach might be better than starting
from a blank page, it has an unacceptably high margin of error and is slower
than alternative methods. It's simply too easy to miss a required change, leave
something in that should have been removed, or forget to add something missing
from the original. Further, if the document one starts with was previously
negotiated with opposing counsel, it's going to be full of compromised language
which is difficult to spot. There are many superior alternatives to this
approach. In this seminar, we'll show you how to find and consolidate the best
of your intellectual capital in a way that increases drafting speed and accuracy
while avoiding the aforementioned risks. Finally, you'll see the spectrum of
automation tools from the amazing things your word processor is already capable
of, to document assembly applications like HotDocs. For document-intensive and
transactional areas of practice, improved drafting methods directly impact the
bottom line and improve client satisfaction. Prepare to be amazed at the
possibilities.
