Legal writing by design

"Through easily understandable hypotheticals, outlines, and writing samples, Legal Writing by Design shows how to transform thought into writing. It demystifies the writing process by explaining the logic of deductive reasoning and analogical thinking. It does what no other book on the market does: it explains the concept of "relevancy" as a link between rule and fact." "Legal Writing by Design explains why writing is simply a by-product of reasoning - a footprint of thought. It provides the reader with the confidence and direction necessary to apply to legal writing the reasoning skills that already exist. Students and lawyers alike will appreciate this straight-forward, user-friendly approach to legal writing and will find that it dramatically improves their writing."--BOOK JACKET.
