Abstract
In her influential 2014 Columbia Law Review article “Taking Images Seriously,” Prof Elizabeth Porter outlined the unchanging black and white world of legal writing, describing it as a “stylistic straitjacket,” seemingly impervious to “modern, image saturated communication norms.” Taking a cue from Professor Porter, for the last decade, the presenter has devised an entirely new image-driven way of teaching legal writing, which he has found to be popular with students, practitioners and judges alike, and this approach will be discussed during this webinar.
