Description
Persuasive Advocacy in Action: A Workbook for Law Students Robin Boyle-Laisure ISBN 9781531026929
Persuasive Advocacy in Action: A Workbook for Law Students is purposefully designed to help students develop and refine their persuasive legal writing and oral advocacy skills. Throughout the workbook, students engage with a structured blend of foundational principles, practical guidance, and hands-on exercises aimed at strengthening their ability to craft persuasive legal arguments, draft effective briefs and other advocacy documents, and deliver compelling oral arguments. By combining concise explanations with interactive learning, the workbook equips students to approach legal advocacy with clarity, confidence, and strategic insight.
The introduction outlines the key distinctions between predictive and persuasive legal writing and provides an overview of the workbook’s organization. Chapter 1 reviews the structure and function of state and federal court systems. Chapter 2 focuses on strategies for writing concise and effective persuasive documents. Chapters 3 through 8 address the essential components of trial and appellate briefs. Chapter 9 guides students through each stage of the writing process—from prewriting and drafting to revising and proofreading—while Chapter 10 examines the core elements of successful oral advocacy.
Each chapter includes practical exercises that students may complete independently or as part of a legal skills course, reinforcing the concepts and techniques presented. The workbook also features appendices containing complete case files, which may be used as the foundation for persuasive writing and advocacy assignments.
