Legal Writing Books


1.		Legal Writing in Plain English: A Text With Exercises from University Of Chicago Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Simply put, this is a handy writing guide for lawyers. Just casually flipping through this book for a few minutes will make you a better writer. For example, I especially like the lists, which give you substitutes for legalese or summarize styles that Judges like. Briefly reading through this book... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Winning Brief: 100 Tips for Persuasive Briefing in Trial and Appellate Courts from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $38.11 Customer Review: This is a great book, filled with great advice, from a great legal writing professional. Unfortunately, the Kindle version of this book fails to earn similar praise. There is no "master" list of the 100 tips to quickly browse. The examples, in image format, are hard to read--if not impossible on the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Elements of Legal Style from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $19.80 Customer Review: You do not want to write like Brian Garner. He sounds like William F. Buckley, Jr. reading the phone book through Stephen Hawking's voice synthesizer. I found myself paying more attention to the author's ecclectic phrase choices and mincing composition than his message. Garner weighs the advantanges... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style (2d Ed.) from West Price: $32.40 Customer Review: This is a very handy resource for almost every grammar and punctuation question imaginable. It's expensive, but for those of us who care about every detail of our writing, it's well worth the price.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Plain English for Lawyers (5th Edition) from Carolina Academic Press Price: $15.30 Customer Review: If you have been through college (which, assuming you are in law school or are a lawyer, you have) you probably already know how to write concisely. This book is worthless . . . and lame.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Academic Legal Writing: Law Review Articles, Student Notes, Seminar Papers, and Getting on Law Review from Foundation Press Price: $27.90 Customer Review: The big dirty little secret about law journals is that the articles in most of them -- including the most prestigious law journals -- are not peer-reviewed or faculty-reviewed but are merely student-reviewed! And the law journals with only student review of the articles are not just educational... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Scoring High on Bar Exam Essays: In-depth Strategies and Essay-Writing That Bar Review Courses Don't Offer, With 80 Actual State Bar Exams Questions and Answers from BarWrite Press Price: $45.85 Customer Review: I took BarBri and PMBR. However, neither taught a SYSTEM for writing essay responses. So, I searched for a system and found this book. After practicing the author's "Under Here Therefor" method, and her question-outlining method, I felt much more prepared. I just passed Nevada's bar exam...one... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Alwd Citation Manual: A Professional System of Citation (Legal Research and Writing) from Aspen Publishers Customer Review: The ALWD Citation Manual is better than the Bluebook because of its organization and its clarity. It truly is much easier to use than the competition.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Legal Research and Writing for Paralegals from Aspen Publishers, Inc. Price: $89.95 Customer Review: This is one of the best textbooks I have ever read - I savored every word! Trust me, you should buy it. It discusses the federal and state court systems; statutory law; case law; digests; A.L.R.; legal encyclopedias, periodicals, treatises, and restatements; proper Bluebook and ALWD citation;... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Basic Legal Research: Tools and Strategies (Legal Research and Writing) from Aspen Publishers Customer Review: I'm usually concerned about purchasing items on line, especially books. I can honestly say that this experience was worth it. I would recommend this seller to anyone interested in purchasing good quality books at extremely reasonable prices. Buy with confidence, I did!	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Writing to Win: The Legal Writer from Main Street Books Price: $10.85 Customer Review: I have heard Writing to Win has been used in Advanced Legal Writing classes, which seems to be its best niche - law school upper level student or young lawyer or equivalent. (I read it on my own, outside a classroom setting.) The book should help polish one's writing style. It is not a basic writing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Second Edition (Manual of Style for Contract Drafting) from American Bar Association Price: $47.22	Click here for more information


13.		Basics of Legal Document Preparation from Delmar Cengage Learning Price: $135.17 Customer Review: it is alright-pretty simple and straight-forward.kind of like textbooks in school for how to write different types of papers.helpful for someone who is handling legal affairs pro se.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Scholarly Writing for Law Students: Seminar Papers, Law Review Notes, and Law Review Competition Papers from West Publishing Company Customer Review: 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.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.	[no image]	The Process of Legal Research from Aspen Publishers Customer Review: The CD is the best part about this book. It is well written. I use it as a textbook for school and I have no complaints so far.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Legal Writing: Process, Analysis, And Organization from Aspen Publishers Price: $55.20 Customer Review: this is a used one, but like the seller said, there's only a few lines in the book. Shipping is fast~ seller is nice ~ so satisfired, good deal~	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Leases & Rental Agreements (Leases and Rental Agreements, 3rd ed) from Nolo.com Customer Review: This is a must have for anyone who will be renting a property. I have other properties that I have rented and I wish I had this book before I rented them out!	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		The Five Types of Legal Argument, Second Edition from Carolina Academic Press Price: $22.50	Click here for more information


19.		Legal Reasoning And Legal Writing: Structure, Strategy, And Style from Aspen Publishers Price: $63.90 Customer Review: This is a well-written guide for a first year law student in their first semester of legal writing. It goes into great detail on writing one's first memorandum, with sections on researching, writing the memo, and a paradigm for how to construct a proof of a conclusion of law. However, once I got to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		The Party of the First Part: The Curious World of Legalese from Holt Paperbacks Price: $10.88 Customer Review: "The Party of the First Part" is an erudite, hilarious tour through 21st Century American legalese. Alan Freedman leads us through the ankle-grabbing underbrush of redundancy, dead phrases, faux Latin, and mindless obfuscation into which every reader - and writer - of legal documents eventually must... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
