This unique book offers a practical guide to deconstructing
judgments for the purpose of fair criticism and appeal. It shows
how judgments are written and examines the style and language of
judges expressing judicial opinion. The work is founded upon
independent research in the form of interviews conducted with
judges at every level from deputy district judge to Lords of Appeal
in ordinary, and the practical application of existing academic
material more usually devoted to the structure and analysis of
wider prose writing. It is illustrated by reference to reported
judgments, both well-known and obscure, of the past 100 years.
Contents include: . The nature of judgment. How to read a judgment.
The use of language in judicial opinion. Argument and legal logic.
Fair criticism. Writing judgments. How judges decide. The appellate
judgment. Problems with law reporting. Judicial style It will
assist vocational and research students alike - as well as
fascinate those interested more general in the law and judicial
process.
