Writing to Win: The Legal Writer

Writing to Win: The Legal Writer
- Used Book in Good Condition
From a master teacher and writer, a fully revised and updated edition of the results-oriented approach to legal writing that is clear, that persuadesâ‚¬"and that WINS.

More than almost any profession, the law has a deserved reputation for opaque, jargon-clogged writing. Yet forceful writing is one of the most potent weapons of legal advocacy. In this new edition of Writing to Win, Steven D.Â Stark, a former lecturer on law at Harvard Law School, who has inspired thousands of aspiring and practicing lawyers, applies the universal principles of powerful, vigorous prose to the job of making a legal caseâ‚¬"and winning it.

Writing to Win focuses on the writing of lawyers, not judges, and includes dozens of examples of effective (and ineffective) real-life legal writingâ‚¬"as well as compelling models drawn from advertising, journalism, and fiction. It deals with theÂ challenges lawyers face in writing, from organization to strengthening and editing prose;Â offers incisiveÂ ways of improving arguments; addresses litigation and technical writing in all its forms; and covers the writing attorneys must perform in their daily practice, from emailÂ memosÂ to briefs and contracts. Each chapter opens with a succinct set of rules for easy reference.

With new sections on client communication and drafting affidavits, as well as updated material throughout, Writing to Win is the most practical and efficacious legal-writing manual available.
