Lawyers’ primary professional tool is language. Accordingly, lawyers should strive to use accurate, clear, and compelling word choices in their communications. Attorneys have the responsibility to use words that demonstrate respect for our clients and others. In addition, clinical instructors seek to further pedagogical and representation goals while also communicating principles of equity, inclusion, and justice that are core to legal work. Inclusive language principles help to guide lawyers in choosing the most appropriate words to engender respect, amplify understanding, and enhance communication. While this requires nuanced analysis specific to the context and individuals involved, inclusive language can have a myriad of benefits. Beyond mere grammatical accuracy or linguistic specificity, word choices can help build relationships, foster understanding, and provide insight into personal narratives. Inclusive language is a goal unto itself, not simply a means to achieving advocacy goals, whether in the context of litigation, legislation, or community education.
