    Before

    <p>&quot;The best persuasive writing is specific. Generalities are easy to dismiss. Specifics stick.&quot; Roy Peter Clark, Writing Tools</p> [...] <p>&quot;The court does not ask for your emotional connection to the subject. The court asks for your observations. Observation is more persuasive than emotion in any serious venue.&quot; Stephen Pinker, The Sense of Style</p> [...] <p>&quot;Writing truthfully is its own discipline. When you cannot write truthfully, do not write.&quot; William Zinsser, On Writing Well</p>

    After

    <p>The most persuasive writing tends to be specific: generalities are easy to dismiss, while specifics stick with a reader.</p> [...] <p>A court is not asking for a writer's emotional connection to the subject. It is asking for observations, and in most serious venues, observation is more persuasive than emotion.</p> [...] <p>Writing truthfully is its own discipline. When a writer cannot write truthfully about a subject, the better choice is not to write at all.</p>
