    Although the MU writing faculty will contribute regularly, the Wisconsin Lawyer welcomes columns submitted from other legal writing aficionados. The column will appear at least quarterly. Upcoming topics include using updated language, writing concisely, and taking time for revision.

    Ask a legal writing expert. We welcome readers’ questions about anything related to legal writing and topic suggestions for future columns. Your question will be answered directly by the MU writing faculty and may appear in a future column. Please send your comments, questions, and topic suggestions to: wislawyer@wisbar.org, subject line: legal writing.– Wisconsin Lawyer editors.
