Figuring out the optimal level of advocacy can be tricky. You don't want to oversell your case. But you don't want to undersell it either.
In our upcoming webinar, Professor Patrick Barry, from the University of Michigan Law School, will provide you a series of writing tips that can help you find your own sweet spot of persuasion.
Join us on Tuesday, 19 May from 16:00 - 16:45 CET to take part in this helpful workshop.
