Use the persuasive
material that you created in the first exercise, and extract the points and
authorities from the document that you drafted. Write the headings and captions
to indicate the assertions that you are making, and organize the headings,
captions, and authorities into a table of points and authorities like the table
included in our appellate brief sample.

The attorney

events.

Draft a
meeting summary for a meeting you attended concerning the rezoning of a
residential parcel of land as industrial-class land. The residents oppose the
proposal because the land is between two residential developments. The rezoning
would allow for an industrial plant to manufacture rubber tires. The
subdivisions are old and the neighborhood is not wealthy. The board did not
take any action, but plans to on April 2, 2012. The meeting was January 20,
2012. About 200 residents appeared. Another developer has a plan for a strip
mall that would benefit the neighborhood.

Check with
your firm concerning policies regarding any e-mails that include client
confidences. E-mails can be intercepted and may not be secure. Some firms,
however, have security measures in place to safeguard such communications. Most
firms have a confidentiality warning as part of the firm’s e-mail template.
However, e-mails can still be forwarded and intercepted. If a matter is very
sensitive, consider alternative ways to communicate such as printed letters
sent via post or even a telephone conversation. When sending e-mails, remember
that e-mails can be forwarded to other recipients. Also, any e-mail that you
create while at work is now a permanent part of the firm or company’s document
files. Even if you delete the e-mail, the encryption can often be retrieved. Be
very careful with what you write and how you write it when you are at work.
Most firms now include confidentiality information in the e-mail template
stating that the e-mail should be viewed only by the intended recipient.
Whenever writing an email in any context, always make sure that it is
professional, truthful, and accurate before hitting send.

Before using
any form of social media in the work environment, check if the firm or company
has a social media policy in place. Remember that social media has not been
adopted by everyone and that it is considered very informal for professional
correspondence. Consider the age and background of the recipient too when
deciding on the format for the correspondence. Additionally, be aware of client
confidentiality when using social media for professional communication.
