Legalese in the Age of IM

Noting the strict word and page length limits judges impose on briefs and oral arguments, Roger Wade Hughes has proposed that appellate lawyers adopt a system of communicating via IM type acronyms, such as:

  • WADR = with all due respect
  • 2SL = slippery slope
  • WSA = well settled authority
