Podcast: Otter way. About the law. Differently – episode 3: “Give a thing a proper word”, or how a lawyer should not speak/write

16 April 2025

In the third episode of our litigation podcast, Dr. Łukasz Wydra, a Partner and the head of the Arbitration practice at Jabłoński Koźmiński & Partners, delves into the importance of legal communication. Specifically, he explores why “clarity” is not merely a stylistic element but a crucial obligation for professionals.

In this episode, you will find:

  • practical reflections on how to speak to the court to be understood,
  • a warning against metalanguage and legal “baroque”,
  • encouragement to treat each legal text as a story with narrative and logic, not a literary display,
  • an answer to the question: Does a classic legal opinion still make sense?

Is a lawyer still an advisor, or already a priest of secret knowledge? Is a 10-page legal opinion still an opinion, or already a tool of deterrence? Isn’t it time to write less and speak more clearly?

We urge you to listen!
