Description
Scholarly Writing: Ideas, Examples, and Execution 4th Edition Jessica Lynn Wherry ISBN 9781531030407
Most law schools require upper-level students to produce a sophisticated legal research paper, yet many students struggle with the process—from selecting a topic to polishing a final submission—and often fail to fully develop and defend a thesis. The fourth edition of Scholarly Writing: Ideas, Examples, and Execution provides a comprehensive guide to navigating this process, supporting students at every stage of legal research and writing.
Drawing on over 30 years of combined experience teaching scholarly writing to J.D. and LL.M. students, the authors identify common obstacles and offer practical techniques for overcoming them. The book features examples across ten diverse areas of law, including constitutional law, ethics and technology, patent law, art law, immigration, property rights, arbitration and employment agreements, debt law, juries and verdicts, and government contract law—ensuring relevance for students with varied interests.
The text walks students through a five-step process for researching and writing scholarly papers and follows multiple published student papers from inception to final execution. This example-based approach distinguishes the book from others, demonstrating not just what to do, but how to do it through annotated excerpts and practical guidance.
New in the fourth edition, students will find strategies for strengthening drafts, including using outlines to transition seamlessly from research to writing, as well as guidance on incorporating generative artificial intelligence into their scholarly work.
