Judge Nelson Johnson, the retired state Superior Court judge and award-winning author, wants attorneys to write and argue better. Johnson who penned the book that inspired the HBO series Boardwalk Empire, is in a great position to give advice. His newest book, “Style & Persuasion: A Handbook for Lawyers” – published by the New Jersey State Bar Association – offers concepts for attorneys of every ilk to build confidence and transform their writing styles in an innovative format. This session has something for everyone including general writing guidance; advice on how to be your own editor; insights on how to structure your composition or how to create a lead; and information on crafting pleadings, briefs and oral arguments.
