“I took Mr. McClory’s class the summer before entering law school, and the lessons I learned from him have served me well – both in school and in practice. While writing classes in law school were useful for learning the formalities of legal style, they were not aimed at teaching how to state an argument plainly and persuasively. Most lawyers are smart people, but they tend to write long, convoluted sentences in an attempt to sound like a lawyer. More often than not, cogent arguments get lost in the process. Mr. McClory’s practical guidance can correct that.” – Young Lawyer, California

In a Petition for Review . . . he wrote some portions and edited the rest. . . . Of the 158 petitions submitted, the Court chose to hear only two. One of them was ours.” – Attorney, Washington, D.C.
