Somewhat insulting to college grad's intelligence
| Customer Rating: | The book does cover all the basics, but it's painfully insulting in parts as it drones on about basics like avoiding passive voice. Didn't I learn this in high school?
Ten years ago the books must have been pitched to a higher level. |
Teh Bomb
| Customer Rating: | | Well, it's a law school text book. What do you want me to say? I work a lot. It does a good job at facilitating that. |
Not too shaby
| Customer Rating: | This book was used during my lawyering process class and is used in an attempt for the 1st year law student to become aclomated to the tortures of legal writing and analysis. Overall this is a pretty good book that does give the entering law student a good foundation to start with it. However, the writing problems and questions used for practice are really hit or miss, with some benig good, and some being just plain ridiculous.
Overall, there are better books out there than this to help you with legal writing (statsky comes to mind). |
Pure Torture
| Customer Rating: | The problem with this book is that she is constantly telling you to write special little paragraphs with little or no explanation or reason for their existence. Instead of telling you how to write a paper, she tells you all kinds of "specialty paragraphs" that you must include in your paper.
For example, here's what she says should be in the "analysis section" of a trial brief (remember this is just part of a brief):
1) An Umbrella section containing
a rule summary and
controlling authority and
rule definition and
principles affecting the rule application and
argument summary and
resolution of potential "resistance"
2) A Standard paradigm (don't ask what it is or why she calls it that)
3) A rule statement with two sub-parts
4) A rule explanation with four sub-parts
5) A "factual conclusion" with a conclusion two sections before your actual conclusion
6) A rule application with three sub-parts
7) A conclusion with two sub-parts
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! |
This is a really great book
| Customer Rating: | THEY are forcing me to read this book for my first year lawyering process class in law school. It really is a good book. It's nuts and bolts of "doing" law, including reading, writing, analyzing. I read a lot of those "buy this book and you won't be scared of law school" books, and with few exceptions they were disappointing. I am so happy to finally be into the meat of law school. While I would not recommend buying this book to the casual reader, it would be worth a glance if you are starting, or considering starting law school. Support your local library!
Happy reading.
