As one of the most effective ways to learn good legal writing is to be able to understand and analyze it well, this text emphasizes the analysis of legal language at the same time as it offers examples of good and bad writing. Topics of interest in the first section on analysis include the categories of legal writing, sources of law, the litigation process, and synthesizing the law from a series of cases. Then, after discussing the skills of legal writing, the authors explain how to write specific documents such as intraoffice memoranda, memoranda of points and authorities, and appellate briefs.
