.Black's Law Dictionary (Pocket), 3rd Edition from: Thomson West June 22, 2006 Blacks is the best on the market in terms of law dictionaries. However, the downside is you need an internet connection for it and that is not always the most convenient for those with limited internet access. So much nicer when you can just save things to your computer if you choose. >>See More Reviews & Details on Black's Law Dictionary (Pocket), 3rd Edition |

.Garner's Modern American Usage by: Bryan A. Garner October 30, 2003 I have purchased several of Mr. Garner's books and this one, like all the others, is a masterpiece. Mr. Garner's command and understanding of the English language, combined with his concise, crisp descriptions, make this work an essential addition to anyone's library. I applaud Mr. Garner for his extraordinary efforts and I thank him for sharing his genius with the rest of us. >>See More Reviews & Details on Garner's Modern American Usage |

.The Elements of Legal Style by: Bryan A. Garner March 21, 2002 This book gets a 5/5 for substance but a 1/5 for style. To be fair, the writer of any book about writing has the heightened duties of the bomb-disposal technician or the internal affairs detective. Garner is fastidious to a fault and, given his audience, this is understandable. But the final product sounds like William F. Buckley, Jr. reading the phone book through Stephen Hawking's voice synthesizer. This is not boring, but distractingly awkward. I found myself paying more attention to the author's ecclectic phrase choices and mincing composition than his message. Garner weighs the advantanges of the spare "Attic" style of writing (Holmes) against the florid "asiatic" style (Cardozo), then somehow manages to adopt the worst of both of ...

.Legal Writing in Plain English: A Text With Exercises by: Bryan A. Garner June 05, 2001 Simply put, this is a handy writing guide for lawyers. Just casually flipping through this book for a few minutes will make you a better writer. For example, I especially like the lists, which give you substitutes for legalese or summarize styles that Judges like. Briefly reading through this book taught me more than I learned in an entire semester of Legal Research & Writing. I highly recommend it. >>See More Reviews & Details on Legal Writing in Plain English: A Text With Exercises |

.The Winning Brief: 100 Tips for Persuasive Briefing in Trial and Appellate Courts by: Bryan A. Garner May 13, 2004 The book looks helpful at first glance but we'll see what happens when the semester gets rolling and it matters. I usually find that buying these books is an inevitable trap I fall into with disappointing results. But, in all fairness I haven't given this book much of a shot yet. Amazon is excellent - obviously. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Winning Brief: 100 Tips for Persuasive Briefing in Trial and Appellate Courts |
