Persuasive Writing for Lawyers and the Legal Profession

With only 168 pages (not counting the appendix), this little book is a gem for persuasive legal writers. It covers all the basics: organizing persuasively, maintaining balance, using authority, using policy, writing ethically, and more. And it covers all those basics in a text that is clear and easy to read. Plus, it is not full of fancy theories; the advice is practical and realistic.Note: This review refers to the second edition, published in 2001, by Sirico and Schultz.
