In this new edition of \u003ci\u003eWriting to Win\u003c\/i\u003e, Steven D. Stark, a former lecturer on law at Harvard Law School, who has inspired thousands of aspiring and practicing lawyers, applies the universal principles of powerful, vigorous prose to the job of making a legal case—and winning it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWriting to Win\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the writing of lawyers, not judges, and includes dozens of examples of effective (and ineffective) real-life legal writing—as well as compelling models drawn from advertising, journalism, and fiction. It deals with the challenges lawyers face in writing, from organization to strengthening and editing prose; offers incisive ways of improving arguments; addresses litigation and technical writing in all its forms; and covers the writing attorneys must perform in their daily practice, from email memos to briefs and contracts. Each chapter opens with a succinct set of rules for easy reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith new sections on client communication and drafting affidavits, as well as updated material throughout, \u003ci\u003eWriting to Win\u003c\/i\u003e is the most practical and efficacious legal-writing manual available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown\/Archetype","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046726648048,"sku":"9780307888716","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780307888716_p0.jpg?v=1763673378","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780307888716","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
