What Attorneys Are Saying About Randall's Courses

Very good and extremely practical.

John K

I saved my legal writing textbooks even when others were sold or given away. Whatever happens in law practice, you always need great writing. This course is also one I will save, because in just one hour, it refocused me to write better, briefer briefs and master momentous moving papers.

Lenore R

Very organized and interesting presentation.
