Thinking Like A Writer A Lawyer's Guide To Effective Writing And Editing

Thinking Like a Writer: A Lawyer's Guide to Writing and Editing, is a different kind of book about legal writing. It assumes its readers are good writers who have already absorbed most of the usual advice about legal writing. But they may lack the intellectual framework for "thinking like a writer" with the same incisiveness with which they think like a lawyer. This book provides that framework. It focuses on the underlying principles for communicating complicated information clearly and for establishing your credibility with demanding audiences. As a result, it helps to transform good writers into first-rate ones, and to make them far more efficient and powerful editors of their own writing and of others' drafts. Its unique approach will benefit supervising lawyers who do more editing than writing, as well as lawyers who do their own drafting.Armstrong, Stephen V. is the author of 'Thinking Like A Writer A Lawyer's Guide To Effective Writing And Editing', published 2003 under ISBN 9781402403187 and ISBN 1402403186.
