Legal English Writing Tip:

Because' versus 'Since.'
The distinction between these two prepositions has blurred in recent years, but I still believe that an acute writer should follow the traditional usage. The word 'since' is a time or temporal word.
 For example, 'I have lived in Ohio since I was a baby.' The preceding sentence provides a reader with information about how long I have lived in Ohio. To the contrary, the word because is tied to causation.

 For example, 'Because I have lived in Ohio for so many years, I know how to drive in the snow.'
