This course addresses one of the main challenges in legal writing: its complexity. You'll learn valuable techniques to correct legal texts following the principle of linguistic economy: less is better. Through this self-paced learning experience, you'll identify orthographic norms and rules essential for legal text construction, define guidelines for correct grammatical structure, apply stylistic norms for style correction, and understand appropriate typography usage in legal documents. The course covers three phases of text construction: planning, writing, and correcting, helping you avoid common mistakes like overuse of gerunds, verbosity, and misuse of connectors. You'll engage in individual reflection activities that demonstrate how orthographic rules directly relate to legal practice and enhance your professional performance. The course is enriched with testimonials and guidance from experts from the Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría Philippi firm, a full-service firm with offices in Chile, Colombia, Peru, Spain, Portugal, New York, Beijing, London, and Brussels.
