Product Description
The book has two underlying themes: (1) that legal writing ought to be more like other professional writing--more readable, more audience-focused, and more accessible; and (2) that lawyers ought to behave more like other writing professionals--by studying good writing, by consulting the best writing sources, and by constantly seeking to improve.
From the Publisher
The essential tool for law professionals, students, and researchers seeking to sharpen their communication skills through effective, clear, concise legal writing.

From the Publisher
The essential tool for law professionals, students, and researchers seeking to sharpen their communication skills through effective, clear, concise legal writing.
Better Legal Writing grew out of materials created by attorney and law professor Wayne Schiess for a popular continuing legal education seminar sponsored by the University of Texas School of Law. The resulting manuscript covers a wide variety of legal writing topics, packaged into 15 neat, readable chapters.
Schiess is the director of the legal writing progrm at the University of Texas Austin School of Law, where he teaches legal writing, legal drafting, and plain English. A speaker in great demand, Schiess has published numerous articles on the writing spectrum and is also the author of Writing for the Legal Audience.
Experienced writers will find the information to be a timely reminder of good writing techniques to make their copy more succinct and easily understood. For the less excperienced writer, this work will prove to be extremely enlightening.
