Legal prose is often a more pedestrian venture than a novel or a
poem. However, even the pedestrian can be done well. The views of
the professional writers considered in this book identify how
lawyers can write legal prose well, and sometimes even beautifully.
This book provides key lessons on legal writing that can be gleaned
from various leading authors of the past and brought to bear in
crafting more polished legal texts. Among the great authors
considered are Joseph Conrad, Guy de Maupassant, E.M. Forster,
Thomas Hardy, Henry James, D.H. Lawrence, Robert Louis Stevenson
and Virginia Woolf. Central themes identified are: Legal writing
should never be too difficult to understand; Great writers have
much to teach the legal writer; Good writing requires hard work;
Professional jargon is generally best avoided; and The truth is
always pure, often simple, and generally best expressed in plain
English. This book contains invaluable guidance to help all those
involved in legal writing to hone their writing skills, while
providing an engaging tour through the works of great authors from
the past. All after-tax author royalties from this book will be
donated to the Ukrainian relief efforts of the International Red
Cross and Red Crescent movement.
