Abstract: Lawyers make their living with words. Most of us are justifiably proud of our writing skills and may even enjoy a spirited debate about the Oxford comma. But language evolves, and as writers, we should strive to keep pace with modern trends in writing. In this essay, we offer some tips for contemporary legal writing, including a discussion of which grammar “rules” have become outdated, suggestions for using inclusive language, and a take on modern pronouns.
