SWEET Class - Writing for Court






Legal Aid Society Social Work Staff


It was good to review and refresh what makes an effective reported (I feel I’m an effective court writer – but the process is very hard - - exhausting even) so that comprehensive workshop was very helpful and inspiring. Facilitators: Knowledgeable, upbeat, exciting, engaging. Nothing coming to mind for improvement. Fantastic training and facilitators, material, and venue. Give thanks! - Elizabeth
This was a very helpful training/I really appreciated the back and forth and found it helpful to flow and understand the material. Thank you! - Macon
Seminar was interactive, not lecture which kept us engaged. This was a fantastic seminar. - Jill
I liked hearing peoples approaches, specific recommendations. Always interesting to see how people write differently with the same info. The exercises were great. Katy
Worked well – facilitation elicited and informed participants comments so that a lot of learning was peer based. Informative presentation. Maryann
Socratic method, being with colleagues that practice in different areas. Writing exercises. Great and looking forward to the attorney – sw collaboration training! - Rebekah
I had a great experience with this training. It was comprehensive and thought provoking. - Jessica
Interactive style worked for me. It appeared that the training had many sections to it but they were all related. Sometimes, it lead to confusion but possibly because there was a lot to cover in a short period of time. I will take more trainings at SWEET. I got a lot out of this training. - Anna
The presentation was clear and concise. The presenter was animated and engaging throughout the seminar, this was very interactive. - Keith
Learned about how to be concise and how to use an outline to help with my report. This training was great. Hope to do more and learn more to help me do a better job for my clients. - Cynthia
Facilitator and co-facilitator have experience in this. Would like to see examples of “good reports” vs. “not good reports.” Provide this to attorneys. - Marion
I like the use of lists. Very clear as a reference – effectiveness of the organization of the information. - Heather
I liked that the course was interactive and not just a lecture. The food selection was very nice. - Ellen
Hearing from FSWs in different offices and how they prepare for writing is helpful. An example for each area would be helpful. This training was great! So innovating - Allison

Facilitator identified important elements of an effective report and got a lively discussions going. Deborah
I appreciated going over all of the 10 elements/questions to be included in the reports. The explanation of aggravating vs. mitigating factors. This was a great training, glad to have been a apart. This training should be an imperative part of new social work training. – Ebonie
