5.0 out of 5 stars What I use to teach advanced lawyers, January 16, 2006
This review is from: Better Legal Writing: 15 Topics for Advanced Legal Writers (Hardcover)
. Prof. Schiess has written a fine book, one systematically treating the writing problems facing a lawyer. I found the most useful chapter one entitled "Better legal analysis." So far as I have found, his is the only useful treatment of this fundamental lawyer's skill. Also highly useful are his chapters, "Better persuasion," "Better legal drafting," and "Ethical legal writing."
. More than worth the money. If you are a lawyer who writes, which I think is every lawyer who breathes, use this book. A tremendous amount of knowledge put into a 224-page book.
. Maybe if law schools took Prof Schiess's advice and treated law school writing as a serious discipline, we wouldn't need this book or Bryan Garner's or the many other books urging lawyers to write better. But until then, buy this book.
