Becoming a Legal Writer: A Workbook With Explanations to Develop Objective Legal Analysis and Writing Skills - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This workbook will help develop two essential lawyering skills: objective analysis and writing. Providing ample foundation in every chapter followed by short, targeted exercises, Becoming a Legal Writer is designed to complement any legal writing book or be used as a stand-alone text for academic support or pre-law instruction.

The second edition contains new material and additional exercises including a pre-interview chart for client meetings, explanations and exercises on regulations and other federal authorities, a step-by-step process for analogical reasoning, a detailed chapter on counterarguments, and materials on using citations and avoiding plagiarism. Throughout the workbook, explanations and corresponding exercises are updated providing opportunities for students to articulate statutory and common law rules, revise roadmaps within thesis paragraphs, synthesize rules, illustrate cases, apply rules to facts, frame a question presented, state a brief answer, detail a longer conclusion, pose neutral facts, and edit and polish their work.
