Customer Reviews

Invaluable reference for working legal writers

I don't normally post reviews -- in fact, this is the first one I've ever done -- but I thought I should create a counterpoint to the one negative review listed for this book. I'm an in-house attorney who does a lot of contract and other drafting. I use this book constantly, and I've encouraged the non-lawyer contract managers I work with to buy it, too. You may be able to find this stuff on-line, but it's invaluable to have one well-organized place to answer just about all the common questions that come up when doing legal writing. The price has gone up considerably since I bought my first copy ten or fifteen years ago, but if you write, if you care about writing, and if your time is worth anything, this book is well worth having.
