Question: How do lawyers write?
Answer: “Describes law writing as less reader-oriented and more oriented toward the speech community.” BL Gunnerson. 1989. P. 433.
Comment: In a sense, this finding makes sense. Lawyers make speeches all the time. I would not be surprised if they wrote as if they were giving a speech. If this finding is true, better know the lingo or you’ll soon find yourself lost in a turbulent sea of verbiage and specialized language. RayS.
