Dear 1L: Just say because

Dear 1L,

In reviewing recent writing samples, I am reminded of just how many wordy ways there are to say “because.” Don’t go these ways. Just say “because”:

  • In light of the fact that

  • Due to the fact that

  • As a result of

  • For the reason that

  • On account of the fact that

  • On the grounds that

Cut these clauses. Just say “because.” 

Fondly,

Amanda
