Editing, Advocacy, and AI

Good editors don’t just see the sentence that was written. They see the sentence that might have been written. They know how to spot words that shouldn’t be included and summon up ones that haven’t yet appeared. Their value comes not just from preventing mistakes but from discovering new ways to improve a piece of writing’s style, structure, and overall impact. This course will teach you how to be one of those editors. You'll edit briefs. You'll edit contracts. You'll edit all kinds of legal documents. Sometimes this editing will be done with the help of artificial intelligence tools. Sometimes it will be done entirely on your own. But always the goal will be the same: learn and practice a skill that is fundamental to becoming an excellent advocate.
