If you start a sentence with an introductory sentence or a clause that begins with “except,” you almost certainly force the reader to re-read your sentence. You specify an exception to a rule before you specify the underlying rule.

After modern American courts began using court reporters to produce accurate, complete, and verbatim written accounts of their trials, lawyers and judges realized that exceptions were unnecessary because the objection itself and the context of surrounding records are all the appellate court really needs to resolve a contentious issue. Beginning in the 1930s, exceptions were abolished in federal courts[3] as well as in many state courts.
For example, California did not technically abolish exceptions, but simply made them redundant by simply treating almost all trial court decisions as automatically exempt.
