The Importance of Writing Right
I have often posted here on the importance of writing skills to the professional paralegal. Thus I am pleased to see this announcement and urge you all to check the newest edition of The Paralegal Voice:
The ability to write well is critical for successful paralegals. On this edition of The Paralegal Voice, co-hosts Lynne DeVenny and Vicki Voisin welcome Sally Kane, Esq., Editor-In-Chief of Paralegal Today, to talk about the importance of a paralegal’s writing skills. They will discuss why it’s important for paralegals to write and publish, how to get published, common writing problems and how paralegals can improve their writing skills.
Speaking of publishing, this is a good opportunity to remind you all of the Call for Papers for the upcoming professionalism anthology. The call requests that a notice of intent be submitted in February but such a notice is helpful not required. We are still interested in hearing from paralegal educators, practitioners, and students that would like to participate in this project.

“medically-induced coma”??? I smell something really fishy here-and I’m nowhere near a fish tank. I worked in and around intensive care units for 25 years and I have YET to see somebody in a medically-induced coma able to so much as turn over in bed by themselves, never mind get up, and ambulate out of the hospital and go jay-walking!
No-sorry, don’t buy a word of this. Somebody is lying their rear end off. It might be an urban myth and it might be the teenager, but somebody is LYING!
The point of the post is that the way it is written the story make it sound like a person jay-walked while in a coma while that is not what happened at all. If the story had been written correctly there would be no confusion as to what actually happened!
