    Reading-friendly writing conveys clear and simple communication. “Effective communication is a three-part process: the message is translated into words, verbal or written; the message is delivered to the target audience (verbal report, letter, memo, report style of preference), and the goal is achieved – the intended report audience understands the communicated message” (Dickinson & Meyer, 2020, p. 834). The writing communication and report writing should be free of misspellings, unbiased, and organized. This helps with written communication and report writing since both the attorney and client can have a better understanding of the case.
    The legal nurse consultant’s report consists of supporting research and documentation. Editing written communications and reports ensures that the reader understands the conveyed message. The legal nurse consultant can edit written reports when additional information or documents found. This ensures that the report is kept up to date and concise. In return, a concise report improves the outcome of a case.
