Great Law Aid
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book was extremely helpful! I found it to be most useful when I read it after I read the course readings(as a review tool)...but of course, you should do whatever helps you learn best. However,I must stress, as tempted as one may get, DO NOT substitute it for the actual case readings!! There are a lot of details that are not mentioned in the horn book that law professors are interested in...and they test you on what THEY think is important, not what you think is.
Thorough and fundamental.

This book covers the fundamentals of legal writing so thoroughly and carefully that it could well substitute for many first-year legal-writing texts. Its approach may strike experienced writers as too traditional or too basic. Still, for the novice it will provide a solid grounding in legal-writing style, legal analysis, legal memos, letter writing, and persuasive writing. Many practicing lawyers would do well to heed the teachings in this book.One critique: Persuasion is so common in law schools' first-year, legal-writing courses that this Nutshell probably had to cover it. But it covers it cursorily and might well have left it out. Persuasive writing is a topic that can (and does) fill entire books.
