I used to teach English at college level. And this is one of the lessons I used to teach--with great emphasis. The structure of the English sentence most often works this way. New information, or information you want to emphasize, goes at, or near, the end of the sentence. The beginning of sentences is used for transitional links from what has immediately preceded it, and also to point forward to what is to come next. Moreover, this linking and introductory matter gives the reader time to work his way into the new idea. The principles of good writing, I have found, carry over into good courtroom lawyering. Example: in the courtroom the effective lawyer presents a coherent "story" or theory of his case around which he organizes his facts; similarly, all good writing presents a central thesis or idea around which the effective writer organizes his subordinate ideas and supporting examples. Etc. Old truths are good to tell. I'm new in the courtroom; your advice is helpful. Thanks. Mark Desser True. I used to teach English at college level.
