4.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable reference for working legal writers,

This review is from: Legal Writing: Getting It Right and Getting It Written (American Casebooks) (Paperback)
I don't normally post reviews -- in fact, this is the first one I've ever done -- but I thought I should create a counterpoint to the one negative review listed for this book. I'm an in-house attorney who does a lot of contract and other drafting. I use this book constantly, and I've encouraged the non-lawyer contract managers I work with to buy it, too. You may be able to find this stuff on-line, but it's invaluable to have one well-organized place to answer just about all the common questions that come up when doing legal writing.The price has gone up considerably since I bought my first copy ten or fifteen years ago, but if you write, if you care about writing, and if your time is worth anything, this book is well worth having.

This review is from: Legal Writing : Getting It Right & Getting It Written (American Casebook Series and Other Coursebooks) (Paperback)
Woo Hoo, another outrageously overpriced softbound pamphlet designed to bilk hardworking law students out of a few more bucks. Well, that was my first impression especially considering my professor's announcement that "they give [him] lots of free books." Gee, wonder why!Anyway, this is a grammar reference that clarifies some fine distinctions and is organized like an encyclopedia, with topics such as "when or if" and "that or which." The thing is, it's nothing you can't get from the Internet or in another, less costly grammar manual. If you don't have to, don't bother buying this book. I wouldn't buy it if I didn't have to. Thanks for reading.
