I’ll be there; I’ll be there; I will be there (presenting)

If you don’t mind a little sun, sand, and sea with your professional development, then please consider the Legal Writing Institute’s 14th Biennial Conference, to be held at the Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort in south Florida (Gulf side) June 27–30. Although the conference is mainly for legal-writing teachers, there are also several items on the menu for practitioners. Among those will be my own presentation, scheduled for Wednesday, June 30, on how to emphasize without doing THIS or this!!!, and how to de-emphasize without hiding stuff in footnotes or omitting it altogether.

Ray--I'm so glad you'll be presenting at Marco. I've followed your blog for a while and often send your posts to everyone in my department (Cooley Law School). I thought I saved your power point that included the boxing glove for active and the rolling Bozo for passive voice (but of course I can't find it now). Great stuff. Anyway, I look forward to meeting you at Marco.

Eileen, thanks for the kind words. I guess if you want to see that PP again, you’ll just have to sit in on my presentation.

Ray -- you have a significant fan club in LWI and we will be there with bells on (and in my case the bells will probably have glitter on them). The energy level at an LWI conference an experience unto itself.
