If you’ve read Garner’s stuff, you’ll notice some overlap. This book restated "The Winning Brief" multiple times, and it has most of the same examples (Demand Letters, Memos, etc.) as "The Redbook 2d" (I don’t have the 3d of that one).
That’s the disclaimer. But I still loved the book. It’s largely written as a how-to, gives you tips to improve your legal writing, and is a resource that I’ll continue to reference throughout my career.
If you’d like a quick read (with accompanying exercises to test your skill) this is a great book to have. Then, when you become more interested, you can nab the Redbook, Legal Usage dictionaries, etc. In sum, it’s a great place to start.
One objection, though: Garner’s answers in the back often deal with only the Easy exercise, not all three (Easy, Intermediate, Hard). I realize that giving answers to all three would lengthen the book, but the easy one is exactly that–easy. I’d like to see his Heller brief, or any of the harder ones just to compare. But that’s only a minor annoyance. Otherwise, it’s a real asset if you’re interested in improving your legal writing. And you should be.
This book was purchased for a tax research class. It absolutely delivers on its title, more than I even could have imagined. I was immediately impressed by the author’s matter-of-fact yet engaging style, and the content is quite useful for non-legal professionals too. If you ever write persuasive letters, articles or blog posts, there are many practical tips in this book. It is an entertaining and thought provoking read. After most sections, I was left scratching my head with a puzzled look on my face. Not questioning the author’s ideas, I was instead left wondering why they were not more mainstream, legal and otherwise. I really hope many more people, even those who only occasionally write, read this book!
I don’t think I’ve ever written an review before, but this book is simply too good not to contribute to the meager seven reviews it has received.
In this book, Garner has amassed simple and straightforward way to improve legal in a humorous and easy-to-read book. Hardly any of the brief suggestions weren’t helpful and his writing is so good that I would actually find myself continuing to digest them long after I intended to stop.
The fact this isn’t a foundational text for every 1L entering law school is criminal.
