The book is in a good condition and arrive within a reasonable time period. Thanks!
This is a poor excuse for a writing book, let along a Legal Writing guide. This information in this book is just barely beyond common sence and provides little practical advise for legal publications, whether academic or professional. However, many law schools seem to require their first-year students to subject themselves to the pain of reading part, if not all of this poor excuse for a teaching instrument. Personally, I had to read two chapters; the prof spend 20 minutes on the material, and even admitted the book has little to offer. Yet the book was on HER booklist as a required title. I smell a rat…save yourself a little money and buy this book used, then use the money you saved for a decent dinner or a few drinks during finals week.
This is one of the worst writing books on the market. The examples are elementary and poorly written and the style of legal writing is one you would never use in the work place. I actually feel less intelligent after reading this book and hope I can erase all I read from my mind. For a much better legal writing book, try Writing and Analysis in the Law by Shapo et al.
