Description
Becoming a Legal Writer: A Workbook with Explanations to Develop Objective Legal Analysis and Writing Skills 2nd Edition Robin Boyle-Laisure ISBN 9781531023812
Becoming a Legal Writer, Second Edition is a practical workbook designed to help students develop two essential lawyering skills: objective analysis and effective legal writing. Each chapter provides foundational guidance followed by short, targeted exercises, making the workbook ideal either as a complement to any legal writing textbook or as a stand-alone resource for academic support or pre-law instruction.
The second edition introduces new materials and additional exercises, including a pre-interview chart for client meetings, guidance and exercises on regulations and other federal authorities, a step-by-step process for analogical reasoning, a detailed chapter on counterarguments, and tools for using citations correctly and avoiding plagiarism. Throughout the workbook, exercises are paired with clear explanations to help students: articulate statutory and common law rules, revise thesis paragraph roadmaps, synthesize rules, illustrate cases, apply rules to facts, frame questions presented, state brief answers, develop extended conclusions, present neutral facts, and edit and polish their work.
