LSPA and RELACS Webinar: Professional Writing for the Public Sector

Produced by: LSPA Produced by: RELACS

May 17, 2025

Take a hard look at the last legislative report you just finished. Is it not just accurate and complete, but also compelling and concise? Did you use legalese as a crutch for expertise? Is the information clear? Will it stand the test of time? Did you have a particular audience in mind? Dig into all those questions and more in a session that touches on understanding your reader, the power-language relationship, the enemy in legalese and use and avoiding the passive voice.
