What is the goal of legal writing?
- Impress the judge?
- Confuse the opponent?
- Or, win the case?

Legal writing is NOT "story-telling"!
Every word has a purpose.Any word that does nothing to achieve the goal (which is winning, by the way) must go.
Say what needs saying and stop!
Aim every word at your goal. You don't need a "novelist's eye" or a "bartender's ear", like Jimmy Buffett.
You're assembling the parts of a powerful engine.
