Synopsis

A new addition to the popular Examples & Explanations Series, Legal Writing uses a methodology based on the E&E pedagogy to teach students how to analyze and assess the effectiveness of their writing. Students decide whether the writing excerpts in the examples meet certain criteria for effectiveness. The authors then explain why the example succeeds or fails to meet those criteria. Legal Writing: Examples & Explanations is designed to accompany any legal writing text. Focusing on core writing skills, Legal Writing, Examples & Explanations features:

  • examples that focus on each part of the memo or briefseveral examples for each part;because there are many ways to write well or badly
  • questions after each example that ask whether the writing sample satisfies certain criteria for effective writing
  • detailed explanations for why the example does or does not meet those criteria
  • pedagogically consistent chapter organization
