Introduction
I. INTRODUCTION
The ability to write a clear and persuasive brief is one of the most important weapons in a lawyer's armory; this is especially true for appellate practitioners. Although oral advocacy skills are important, a litigant's briefs are reviewed long before oral argument, when judicial law clerks are drafting their bench memoranda and judges are deciding how to approach oral argument and decide a case. Briefs are often reviewed a second (or third, fourth, or fifth) time after oral argument-when judges and their clerks are crafting the court's decision and revisiting the issues that the court must decide. For these reasons, a clear and persuasive brief often has a greater impact than even the most inspired oral argument. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly common for courts to decide cases without oral argument. In those instances, a compelling brief is critical to a litigant's success, and the only way to make an impact on the court.
The ability to write and recognize a persuasive brief is important to lawyers throughout their careers. Junior attorneys are often responsible for initially writing a brief. Senior attorneys often review those briefs *418 and either rewrite or edit them (as circumstances require). In-house counsel may then review the briefs once more, providing additional edits and comments and addressing concerns. Wherever you happen to be in your career, it is important to know how to write, rewrite, edit, recognize, and review an effective brief. This Article offers a number of guidelines for crafting such briefs and provides a number of practical pointers to help lawyers along the way from writing through final review.
More specifically, this Article offers seven general guidelines for writing persuasive briefs. Those guidelines, each of which is discussed in Part II, are as follows: (1) begin your brief with a compelling recitation of the relevant facts; (2) acknowledge the applicable legal standard and use it to your benefit; (3) carefully pick your strongest arguments; (4) present your arguments logically; (5) present your arguments simply and concisely; (6) be accurate, fair, and even-handed; and (7) follow the court's rules and sweat the details. Finally, although the discussion of these guidelines is focused primarily on appellate briefs, it is important to note that almost everything we write here applies equally to trial court briefing. After all, a good brief is a good brief.
Invalid Provisions
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under any present or future law, then that provision will be fully severeable. This Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of each such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically, as a part of this Agreement, a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
