Inspired by Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, this book clearly (often wittily) explains the full range of what legal writers need to know: mechanics, word choice, structure, and rhetoric, as well as all the special conventions that legal writers should follow in using headings, defined terms, quotations, and many other devices. Garner also provides abundant examples from the best legal writers of yesterday and today, including Oliver Wendell Holmes, Clarence Darrow, Frank Easterbrook, and Antonin Scalia. If you want to make your writing clearer, more precise, more persuasive, and above all more stylish, The Elements of Legal Style offers the surest--and the most enjoyable--means to that end. 595303 21 3 2002 The Elements of Legal Style total:17|5:4|4:3|3:8|2:2| 17 60 33 1 3 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 20:51:36 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 12 15:20:55 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 11:48:27 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 11:48:27 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 12:55:14 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 12:55:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 11 15:48:52 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 15:48:52 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Aug 19 11:38:11 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 11:38:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 11 21:10:06 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 21:10:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 08 15:29:49 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 15:29:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 08 11:11:40 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 11:23:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 21 20:01:55 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 20:01:55 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jun 18 19:07:25 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 19:07:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 30 14:45:40 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 14:45:40 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Feb 17 20:16:31 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 20:16:31 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 22 21:50:42 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 09:05:46 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Dec 21 09:35:45 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 09:35:45 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 04 21:39:12 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 21:07:21 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Oct 03 06:54:40 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 06:54:40 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 08 13:34:36 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 13:34:36 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Sep 06 08:52:43 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 08:52:43 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Aug 15 09:29:09 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 09:29:09 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jul 01 16:09:37 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 16:09:37 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=608806
