The tale

This part of the book discusses on techniques on drafting facts


5. Panoramic shot: Set the stage and sound your theme
Citing all the facts could be dragging. In this technique, the reader can capture the
image or scene of what you are trying to say by setting up the context of the case. It is
an overview about what the case all about is and what track it would transgress as it
would go on. For short, this style of writing is simply putting things into its place or
contextualizing.
6. Show not tell: Let choice details speak for themselves
In this technique, the point of the argument must not necessarily be stated for the
readers to get it. It is enough that the words being written are the ones would speak for
the point that a party is trying to prove. It is about making the words a machine to speak
out for you.
7. Once upon a time: Replace dates with phrases that convey a sense of time
This technique is used to avoid dull moments when time and dates are written in the
facts as the way they are. To avoid such, the time and dates must be replace with
words or phrases that conveys a sense of time and with that the people can enjoy
reading it instead of skipping it.
8. Headliners: Use headings to break up your fact section and to add persuasive
effect
This is simply breaking up you fact section from being a whole paragraph to dividing it
into sections. In this, you can magnify on the things that are needed to magnify by
separating with others putting specify unto it but not diverting it to the fact as a whole.
Also,it adds persuasive effects to the readers.
9. Back to life: Center technical matters on people or entities
Technical matters on a case is often hard to understand and gives also people hard
time understanding it if written poorly. In this technique, the technical terms are
illustrated using people or entities for the readers to have a grasp of that technical
concept. It can provide an easy way of understanding the essence of that technical
concept.
10. Poker face: Concede bad facts, but put them in context
When facts are not on your side, it must be hidden in a way that it is still in the context
of the case. This about the anticipation that the opponent would point out facts that are
on their side but you must do it for yourself minimizing the effects of it with your claims
in the case.
11. End with a bang: Leave a court with a final image or thought
The ending of the fact sections must leave an impression on the courts mind. It must
trigger some points that if they don’t decide on your side a scenario would happen
where the writer would suggest what would that be. With this, the court can have a
second thought about consequences that would be the effect if they don’t decide in your
favor.
