Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Effective Lawyering concisely describes useful, yet often neglected, writing techniques. The book has pithy discussions of: (1) ways to avoid recurring, yet frequently overlooked, writing problems; (2) sensible approaches to writing common legal documents; and (3) methods for preparing an oral argument. In addition, it provides the reader with a series of checklists to turn to when undertaking a writing project or preparing for oral argument. This book is for law students and practitioners who want to be refreshed on the fundamentals of effective lawyering: fundamentals that they likely learned the first year of law school, but perhaps have forgotten.

Rating:

- A Jewel
Effective Lawyering is the perfect book to help both students and practicing attorneys write clearly and concisely, whether for objective memos or for trial and appellate briefs. The book also has an excellent chapter on oral argument. The authors offer outstanding advice on everything from formatting (how many other writing books discuss widowed and orphaned text?) to academic writing. The checklists are invaluable. This book is a jewel.

- This book is a must have!
Of all of the books that I purchased during law school, this is the only one that I kept and was able to reuse for my other classes. Not only did I use it in my legal writing class, but was able to utilize it in my writing seminar classes. The checklists and samples were extremely helpful. Great book!

- The best legal writing book out there
I spent fall 2005 researching and drafting this book for Professor Parrish. My assignment was simple: (1) collect all the legal writing books in Southwestern Law School's library, and (2) boil entire chapters on oral argument, lanugage composition, or trial court briefs into a single page. This book is the most concise synthesis on legal writing that I have ever seen. I frequently use it as a judicial clerk at the Nevada Supreme Court and have lent it to other clerks. I am hopeful that you will enjoy it and find it equally useful.

- Law students and new attorneys' savior
The book is extremely useful, both for attorneys and law students. I used the book as a student and I still use it as a newly admitted attorney. This book covers all aspects of legal writing, from basic formatting and common grammatical mistakes to drafting law review articles and appellate briefs. It is an excellent and to the point review of what I learned in my first-year legal writing course and more. Also I find the checklists that followed each chapter very practical.
