Advanced Legal Writing: Theories and Strategies in Persuasive Writing (Legal Research and Writing)

Rating:
Summary: Thoughtful and deep
Review: This is the most thoughtful book on persuasive writing I've ever read. It approaches the subject with scholarly exuberance. It covers many fine points that are often missing from texts on persuasive legal writing: ethical persuasion, rhetoric, polish. But to the extent that it is scholarly and is a text for an advanced legal writing class in law school, it will probably seem a little too much for the practicing lawyer. Only the most dedicated appellate specialist will find it useful, I predict.
