| 1. |  | Plain English for Lawyers (5th Edition)
from Carolina Academic Press
Price: $15.30
Customer Review:
If you have been through college (which, assuming you are in law school or are a lawyer, you have) you probably already know how to write concisely. This book is worthless . . . and lame. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Legal Writing in Plain English: A Text With Exercises
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
Simply put, this is a handy writing guide for lawyers. Just casually flipping through this book for a few minutes will make you a better writer. For example, I especially like the lists, which give you substitutes for legalese or summarize styles that Judges like. Briefly reading through this book... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Alwd Citation Manual: A Professional System of Citation (Legal Research and Writing)
from Aspen Publishers
Customer Review:
The whole point of ALWD is that it is a teaching tool. Great. While ALWD might be a little bit easier to start learning the rules, style guides are not necessarily the most clear cut and easy to navigate resources on the planet. What you gain in terms of usability early on in learning legal style... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | The Winning Brief: 100 Tips for Persuasive Briefing in Trial and Appellate Courts
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $41.30
Customer Review:
This is a great book, filled with great advice, from a great legal writing professional. Unfortunately, the Kindle version of this book fails to earn similar praise. There is no "master" list of the 100 tips to quickly browse. The examples, in image format, are hard to read--if not impossible on the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from West
Price: $32.40
Customer Review:
This is a very handy resource for almost every grammar and punctuation question imaginable. It's expensive, but for those of us who care about every detail of our writing, it's well worth the price. | 5.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | The Elements of Legal Style
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $19.80
Customer Review:
You do not want to write like Brian Garner. He sounds like William F. Buckley, Jr. reading the phone book through Stephen Hawking's voice synthesizer. I found myself paying more attention to the author's ecclectic phrase choices and mincing composition than his message. Garner weighs the advantanges... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Academic Legal Writing: Law Review Articles, Student Notes, Seminar Papers, and Getting on Law Review
from Foundation Press
Price: $25.11
Customer Review:
The big dirty little secret about law journals is that the articles in most of them -- including the most prestigious law journals -- are not peer-reviewed or faculty-reviewed but are merely student-reviewed! And the law journals with only student review of the articles are not just educational... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
