false 3185015 1 In their professional lives courtroom lawyers must do these two things well: speak persuasively and write persuasively. In this noteworthy book, two of the most noted legal writers of our day Justice Antonin Scalia and Bryan A. Garner systematically present every important idea about judicial persuasion in a fresh, entertaining way. Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges is a guide for novice and experienced litigators alike. It covers the essentials of sound legal reasoning, including how to develop the syllogism that underlies any argument. From there the authors explain the art of brief-writing, especially what to include and what to omit, so that you can induce the judge to focus closely on your arguments. Finally, they show what it takes to succeed in oral argument. The opinions of Justice Scalia are legendary for their sharp insights, biting wit, and memorable phrasing. The writings of Bryan A. Garner, editor in chief of Black s Law Dictionary®, are respected inside and outside legal circles for their practical guidance on the art of writing and advocacy. Together the Scalia-Garner team has produced a fresh, innovative approach to a timeless topic. 3217877 28 4 2008 Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges total:73|5:17|4:29|3:21|2:6|1:0| 73 276 184 18 4 0 false false Wed Oct 01 10:05:19 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 10:15:16 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Nov 23 08:15:31 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 08:16:26 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Sep 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 08:02:37 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 08:09:40 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jan 21 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 05:19:51 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 06:42:55 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jan 17 07:33:56 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 07:34:49 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Sep 20 17:48:57 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 04 15:02:57 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 20 17:48:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jun 05 14:32:55 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 14:35:30 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Oct 22 10:28:01 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 11:28:33 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 10:28:01 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Sep 10 20:52:41 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 24 18:56:53 -0700 2008
