The Honourable John I. Laskin

Caroline is a marvellous communicator. Her enthusiasm for her subject is infectious. Her teaching reflects what she asks of her audiences: clarity of expression. She is, in short, easy to listen to. I have listened to Caroline many times. And although I have taught decision writing and written advocacy for a quarter of a century, I always pick up some new ideas from one of Caroline’s talks.

Caroline is a top-notch legal writing trainer and coach for Canadians and Americans and anyone else who writes in Legal English. She is forward-thinking, practical, and empathetic. I value her insight and trust her advice, and I’m confident that you will, too.
