Why This Course Exists

Legal meaning is created through structure. Not through intention. Not through effort. Through language.

Most disputes do not begin with bad faith. They begin with sentences that permit more than one interpretation.

This course exists to address that problem directly. Not by teaching “grammar rules,” but by examining how grammatical choices affect obligation, scope, risk, and reasoning in real legal writing.

What You Will Learn

Across ten short lessons, this course examines how lawyers use grammar to:

control legal meaning
reduce interpretive risk
express reasoning clearly
prevent ambiguity from entering the document

The focus is practical.

Every lesson addresses a recurring drafting problem lawyers encounter in contracts, advice, correspondence, and submissions.
