"Why didn't we learn this in law school?!!"

Anyone who survived the confusion of case-method during first semester law school and never learned anything useful until studying commercially available outlines the night before final exams knows the feeling of relief this book provides.

SCHOLARLY WRITING FOR LAW STUDENTS is not a crutch for the lazy. It's an extremely well-organized and comprehensive guide to figuring out the precise steps required to produce quality scholarly legal writing.

Fajans & Falk don't spoon-feed you a "how-to" on scholarly writing -- they simply give you a clue and then help you find your own way. They are unpretenious, funny, and inspiring. Buying this book is easily the best investment I've ever made.

I've never written an amazon.com review before -- but this book inspired me to do so. I've bought a copy of this book for every law student I know. I refer to this book at least once a week to assist in my own legal scholarship...

This book was recommended by a professor since the final grade was based upon a final paper. I wish I had this book since 1st year. Great for people who plan to "write on" to law review as well as write any kind of legal scholarly paper. Highly recommend this.

Superb resource. I would suggest reading this, probably twice, before showing up for first year. I wish I had, although I got hold of this in time to make a difference in what I produced. I mean it - if you want to suck all there is to get out of the Law School process, pick this up.

I was having a great deal of difficulty getting on the same page as my law professor in writing my long paper. Simply following the very clear suggestions, I was able to on the first try get approval to proceed on my thesis, roadmap, and outline.

I had my professor take a look at the book and she has ordered her own copy to have as a loaner in the future for students struggling as I did.

This is an essential book for any law school student and I only wish I had it from day one.
