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.
