Summary: Excellant Introduction to legal writing style
Comment: The text focuses on constructing proof of a conclusion of law and teaches format, style, and grammar collaterally. The goal is to help students learn how to make the
kind of writing decisions that center on the need to prove analysis. Most students have substantial difficulties learning how to construct proof. If format and style
receive primary emphasis, the problem is compounded because the student is invited to mimic the customary appearance of a document, rather than to think through its
content and inner logic. Moreover, format comes easier to students who have already learned the dynamics of proof, and legal writing's heightened requirements of
style and grammar may be easier to accept when they are explained as ways of clarifying proof. And as a skill, style is much more valuable when rewriting second and
third drafts than in producing a first draft.

Part I of the text introduces students to the court and litigation systems, the structure and operation of rules of law, judicial opinions, and methods of briefing them.
Legal writing in general is introduced in Part II. Part III explains how to write an office memorandum; organize proof of a conclusion of law; use authority; analyze
facts; and use paragraphing, style, and citations. Part IV helps students with their first law school examinations. Part V introduces the advocacy skills of theory
development, argumentation, and accurate handling of procedural postures. Writing a persuasive motion memorandum is covered in Part VI; appellate briefs in Part
VII; and oral argument in Part VIII.

Summary: Get Mr. Neumann's Book!
Comment: I got this book from the law library at school and I am going to buy Mr. Neumann's 2002 edition if there is one.
This is a good book to have for Law School!

I have read many pre-law books. This book explains so much in just two short concisely written chapters. I do have one small complaint the title of this book is wrong, this book covers so much more!

This book is an introduction to law, it explains and provides a general overview of the civil procedure process and goes over case briefing. I think this book is more useful than Helen Shapo's book on Legal Writing. In short, GET IT!
