At the Brief Writing Masterclass recently held in Lagos, Nigerian lawyers who attended the 3-day training did just that. <\/p>\n
The brief-writing masterclass was held 26-28 November 2014 at Sheraton Lagos. It attracted participants from various law firms across the country. <\/p>\n
Brief Writing Masterclass was an intensive and highly interactive workshop where advocates learnt how to write winning briefs. The 3-day training made participants appreciate that a winning brief should be luminous not voluminous. Chinua Asuzu the CEO of The Write House facilitated the training.<\/p>\n
The participants were happy they attended the training. Some of the participants confirmed the training impacted on them, and would make changes in the way they prepare briefs. <\/p>\n
At the end of the workshop, The Write House presented certificates to the participants. <\/p>\n
