I just reviewed a motion one of my attorneys drafted. This is a guy I have bitched about for months 'cause he just wasn't getting it done and I was having to do his work. I have been pounding on him to improve, well, everything.

In particular, his legal writing was horrible. He buried his best arguments, couldn't tell a factual narrative in understandable manner, much less a persuasive one, and general made his readers work really hard to understand his points. Just terrible stuff.

While not brilliant, the motion he gave me today was readable, relatively concise, clear and fairly persuasive. It was light years ahead of his recent submissions.

I must be an amazing manager.
