An Important Addition to Your Research Library !!
As a professional proofreader of court reporting transcripts, this is a book that I reach for again and again -- it's a definite must-have for anyone producing documents in the legal arena. It sits beside my Gregg's Reference Manual, although I reach for Morson's first -- and almost half of the time I don't need to look further in any other manual.Read more

Contemporary and thorough.
Remember that it's more than a writing book; that ought to help get you through the rather dry opening chapters on Process, Substance, and Concepts. From there, you'll be treated to a thorough and modern guide to legal drafting skills that balances the practical with the precise. Excellent for law students and great for practicing lawyers. ...

DISHONEST REVIEWS
The reviews of this book are dishonest and deceptive--because of the recent publication date, many reviews are plainly erroneous.
Attrocious - both the book and Amazon
I find it interesting that somewhere around a dozen extraordinarily negative reviews by various law students have been deleted.

Great legal investment
This book taught me how to legally write during my first year of lawschool, and I still reference it.Rather than just stating this is what a certain section of a memo should contain, the book contains a variety of examples of legal memos. The examples really helped me learn how to legally write and serve as a great reference point when I now have questions on my writing.Additionally, the TREAT format that the book proposes recieved great reviews from employers.For anyone learning to legally write, this book is a great investment. ...

One of the best of its kind
It doesn't get much better than this. Wayne Schiess is one of the foremost legal writing experts out there, and his book is a "must have" for anyone who is serious about improving their legal writing. The book is a no-frills look at what professional, polished legal writing should look like and what is expected of practictioners in this ever-evolving field. This book is an invaluable resource and deserves a spot on your bookshelf right next to Bryan Garner's, "A Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage." ... Read more
