5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect guide to scholarly writing for law

I was having a great deal of difficulty getting on the same page as my law professor in writing my long paper. Simply following the very clear suggestions, I was able to on the first try get approval to proceed on my thesis, roadmap, and outline.

I had my professor take a look at the book and she has ordered her own copy to have as a loaner in the future for students struggling as I did.

This is an essential book for any law school student and I only wish I had it from day one.

I'm still in the process of reading this book. I initially purchased it to help me win the Law Review Competition. However, I'm realizing the contents of the first 25 pages have given me tips to improve my legal writing in my core courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading from Day 1 at Law Schools...
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2007
Superb resource. I would suggest reading this, probably twice, before showing up for first year. I wish I had, although I got hold of this in time to make a difference in what I produced. I mean it - if you want to suck all there is to get out of the Law School process, pick this up.
