Legal Writing for Legal Readers: Predictive Writing for First-Year Students: Aspen Coursebook

Autor Mary Beth Beazley, Monte Smith
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2018
Applying the perspective of the reader to the craft of writing, Legal Writing for Legal Readers: Predictive Writing for First-Year Students teaches the differences between strong and weak legal writing by letting students read examples of both. Students discover how productive it can be to read a well-articulated argument, as compared to one that is illogical. We aren't always able to identify our own faults as writers--but as readers, we can see clearly the merits of both the argument and its presentation. The authors' sidebars and annotations highlight why one writer fails while another succeeds. Students realize the significance of their own behavior as readers and how that behavior should dictate their writing decisions. As readers, students learn to recognize the specific elements of analysis and structure that make legal writing effective. As writers, they will make better and more informed choices, when they think about it from a reader's perspective.
New to the Second Edition:
