Even More Quick Cuts

Yet another example of what editors do for attorneys.

In a hurry, an attorney might write something (e.g., for a client alert) like this:

IRC § 149(b)(1) provides that the interest on bonds, which are federally guaranteed, is not tax-exempt.

But that’s certainly not what the attorney meant.

Realizing this, an editor would fix it like so:

IRC § 149(b)(1) provides that the interest on federally guaranteed bonds is not tax-exempt.

Why?

Because that’s what editors do for attorneys — find and fix their errors so potential clients don’t even realize the attorneys are capable of such errors.
