25% Discount on Ultimate Vocabulary
“The eighth trait of an intelligent legal writer is that the writer is articulate … A poor writer has very little credibility in the eyes of a reader.” Michael R Smith, Advanced Legal Writing: Theories and Strategies in Persuasive Writing (2002) 164.
Ultimate Vocabulary is a software program that helps you to build your vocabulary. Among other things, a good vocabulary helps lawyers to:
- write in plain language without losing precision. In Writing At Work, Neil James gives two useful tests when choosing your words: first, look for the word that conveys your meaning most exactly (this will narrow the field); second, pick the shortest of the alternatives. The word that passes both tests will give you power and precision. Ultimate Vocabulary actually teaches you the meaning of the words you want to simplify, so you won't sacrifice precision for simplicity.
- adapt your style to the style of the audience you want to persuade. Some persuasion theorists suggest that to persuade someone, you must know their personality and match the style of your message to the right personality type. By expanding your vocabulary, Ultimate Vocabulary gives you more words to choose from when persuading your particular audience.
- reduce spelling errors. Ultimate Vocabulary helps you to not only build your vocabulary but also improve your spelling. Good spelling is important for lawyers because spelling errors “makes the judge go back to square one in evaluating the counsel” (Patricia M Wald, ‘19 Tips from 19 Years on the Appellate Bench’ (1999) 1 Journal of Appellate Practice and Process 7, 22).
- improve your reading and comprehension skills — no more missing the judge’s point because you don't understand their language. With a better vocabulary, you'll be able to understand the words and concepts in the cases you read, including the archaic language sometimes used in older cases.
- grow your confidence during oral argument — no more stuttering and fumbling for the right word.
- improve opportunities for promotion and career progression — studies show that a good vocabulary is a strong predictor of career success.

10% Discount on Visual Thesaurus Institutional License
"The importance of developing an accurate and creative list of key words and phrases to use in all index searches cannot be overestimated." David Stott, Legal Research (1993) 28.
When you buy Win More Cases: The Lawyer's Toolkit, your law firm, law library, or law school can claim a 10% discount on the institutional version of the Visual Thesaurus. We've negotiated this special offer because the Visual Thesaurus helps you with Step 4 of our toolkit, "Generate Search Terms", by creating an animated display of words and meanings. The software places your main keyword in the center of a "cartwheel", connected to related words and meanings. You can then click on these words to find synonyms, antonyms, and broader and narrower search terms.
To claim the discount, buy our toolkit and then look for instructions on the confirmation page.
If you're an individual user rather than an institution, you can buy the Visual Thesaurus for a small outlay.
10% Discount on TimelineMaker Professional
"Most cases are won before you go into Court. It is … the mastery of the brief so that every fact and every figure is in your head, that is all-important." Norman Birkett, 'The Art of Advocacy: Character and Skills for the Trial of Cases' in George Rossman (ed), Advocacy and the King’s English (1960) 919, 926.
To get the facts "in your head", Step 1 of our toolkit suggests (among other things) that you draw charts, timelines, and other pictures to help you to visualize the parties, events, and transactions. Preparing charts and other pictures forces you to comprehend the facts, because you cannot represent the facts graphically unless you understand what happened. TimelineMaker is one of the easiest and neatest tools we've found to help you to prepare a chronology of your case, which is why we've negotiated a 10% discount on TimelineMaker Professional when you buy our toolkit.
To claim the discount, buy our toolkit and then look for your Discount Code on the confirmation page. Then, enter the Discount Code when you buy and checkout TimelineMaker Professional.
