About this title

Synopsis

For good legal writers, the need to build expertise and address new challenges never ends. Whether you are collaborating on your first appellate brief, supervising new interns, teaching a legal writing class, or just working to improve your own writing, this book is for you. This edition explores the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on legal research and writing. New entries address how lawyers can incorporate its strengths and avoid its pitfalls. Because of the breadth of AI’s effect on legal writing, this edition addresses AI’s benefits and hazards throughout in the scores of topics where it may come into play. Thus, when you turn to a topic, you can be assured that the ongoing effects of AI have been taken into consideration.

Also infused throughout the text are updated approaches to gender references and the hazards of using social media. Looking past ephemeral trends in electronic media, this edition offers advice on how to adjust your filing and writing habits to avoid disastrous leaks and unwise statements. In response to the ever-increasing time pressures you face, it answers your questions quickly and provides suggestions to help you refine your research and writing processes so that you can be more comfortable, confident, and efficient.
