Law essay writing skills

I've just started an LLB in Law. When i start writing the sentences for say an essay, they seem really poor quality and they do not seem to ebb and flow like they should. The reader sees something very static and opaque. How can i correct this bad habit ?

I don't know what you mean by 'ebb and flow', but using the word 'static' and 'opaque' to describe your efforts suggests that you are enamoured of the passive voice and the polysyllabic. Use active voice; use simpler and clearer vocabulary. Let verb choice color your statements rather than search for more adjectives and adverbs to tack onto them.

  • Intercalate short sentences between longer ones: this creates variety and gives the reader a break.
