About this title

Synopsis

This guide helps students and practitioners work with the organizational patterns and traditional ways of connecting ideas found in legal writing. The authors (both Seattle U. School of Law) cover the basics of effective writing from the whole paper on down to the single word, including the all-important connections between paragraphs and ideas and the active or passive voice in sentences, then describe correct grammar and punctuation in detail. For this edition they include a chapter helpful for those for whom English is not a first language, including a very helpful section on rhetorical preferences in writing. They also include exercises and a glossary of usage. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
