Publisher's Synopsis

This examination of legal style describes effective argumentation in law as well as the points of style that allow a writer's message to reach the reader with a maximum of efficiency and clarity. Its focus is on the argumentative, narrative and descriptive style found in legal briefs and judicial opinions, rather than the more technical drafting or legal composition style characteristic of wills and statutes.
