experts are saying!

Cleanly writing federal and state appellate court and other legal opinions is one of the most challenging realtime writing assignments. Legal Opinion Accelerator is a great new tool to give you the practice you need on a variety of interesting legal opinions.

The first volume in this series, Legal "O" Accelerator, Volume 1, includes opinions from federal and a variety of state appellate and state supreme court judges and justices in 30 originally recorded lessons. There are over 900 individual takes to practice from! Extensive vocabulary and terminology drills also provide opportunities to build your dictionary and clean up your writing on difficult words and phrases. A robust series of links to Web sites will also help you abbreviate citation references correctly and decipher both common and uncommon abbreviations.

Legal "O" Accelerator, Volume 1 professional and student versions offer you 10 different speed levels from 130-260 wpm on each lesson. The top speed is well beyond RPR examination speeds for literary material and should provide challenging practice for any professional.

With so many levels and types of material, it is easy to speed up and slow down as you need to build speed and accuracy, work on new vocabulary or clean up your writing.

The Legal "O" Accelerator, Volume 1 practice CD includes:
  • 30 high-quality, originally-dictated Q & A lessons you can practice at up to 10 different speed levels beginning at 130 words per minute.
  • Six marathon lessons playable at all speed levels to build stamina and endurance.
  • 180 vocabulary-building “Dictionary Dazzle Drills” covering proper names, sound alikes, word boundary challenges, word pairs and phrases.

The Legal "O" Accelerator online resource site is packed with materials to structure your practice to your particular goals, motivate and challenge, including:

  • Customizable “Speedbuilding Strategies” tutorials you or your students can use to get the most out of each practice session based on individual needs.
  • Downloadable workbook and journal pages you can copy as needed to chart your progress.
  • Un-timed and printable versions of each Dictionary Dazzle Drill.
  • Progress tests to chart your progress, use to verify completion of class assignments or attain CEUs (school and professional versions only).

The amount of actual practice time you will get out of each volume will depend on the writing speed you can achieve when you begin and will vary from user to user. Each successively higher speed level on student and professional versions is approximately 10 wpm faster than the previous level, so you can practice different types of testimony at different speeds until mastery on all types of testimony is achieved.

You can use Legal Opinion Accelerator with or without CAT or translation software. But, to get the most out of the program, we recommend using the product in conjunction with the realtime translation software of your choice. Legal Opinion Accelerator is non CAT software specific!
