Review

"The writing tips in this book work." -- TRIAL, January 2004

Product Description

This text teaches lawyers how to adjust their writing to accommodate twelve different legal audiences. In each chapter, a different audience - including consumers, supervisors, and trial judges - and its needs are defined. Tips designed to improve legal writing for each specific audience are then offered. Writing for the Legal Audience also cites examples of poor legal writing, explaining common errors, why they should be fixed, and how to fix them. Readers will find sentence structure advice as well as guidance on organization, tone, format, and document design. Using a short, clear, and easy-to-read format, this book is ideal for practicing lawyers or law students who desire quick hints on improving their writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of its kind, September 20, 2003

By	Concerned Citizen "generaljoeschinesefood" (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

It doesn't get much better than this. Wayne Schiess is one of the foremost legal writing experts out there, and his book is a "must have" for anyone who is serious about improving their legal writing. The book is a no-frills look at what professional, polished legal writing should look like and what is expected of practictioners in this ever-evolving field. This book is an invaluable resource and deserves a spot on your bookshelf right next to Bryan Garner's, "A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage."
