Just Writing: Grammar, Punctuation, and Style for the Legal Writer

by Anne Enquist, Laurel Currie Oates

Two legal educators (Seattle U.) provide a guide to the writing principles specific to the law, condensed from The legal writing handbook . Part I focuses on how general principles of good writing manifest themselves in legal writing. Part II focuses on correct English grammar and punctuation as they apply to legal writing. Part III, which is designed for law students and legal writers who speak and write English as a second language, covers special ESL grammar issues and the rhetorical differences that writers from other cultures face in legal writing.

One of the best, if not the best, books on legal writing for first year law students and lawyers generally!
