Writing Samples

What type of writing sample is the most effective? I've only had one lawyer job and I clerked here as a 3L...so I've never given it that much thought.

Do people even read this shit? My eyes glaze over reading my own memos/briefs...
Whatever it is, make it short. I'm reading some letter from an adversary right now and its three pages... to a judge. I feel sorry for the judge, who'll have to pretend he read this gibberish.

Even a long winded fuck like me knows that when it counts, make your fucking point and get out.
