Legal Writing with Style offers a quick, initial assessment of basics, with exercises and answers. It is loaded with colorful cartoons and interesting examples that bring to life the review of essentials. Not found anywhere else is a flow chart comparing and contrasting college essay writing to legal writing—a chart that helps professors point out similarities and differences, and a chart that allows new law students to understand how their writing skills will translate.
Writing with Style covers sentences, problem words, and punctuation rules and options. It succinctly provides the information and base for the self-grading exercises that follow. Students may explore their problem areas in privacy; professors may use the brief explanations as a springboard for class discussion.
Problems with basic grammar, word choice, and punctuation may create embarrassing moments with office supervisors, clients, and court personnel. Now is the time to review those pesky rules and clean up muddled prose. This book helps do just that.
