The State Of Legal Writing: Res Ipsa Loquitur, George D. Gopen
The State Of Legal Writing: Res Ipsa Loquitur, George D. Gopen
Michigan Law Review
There is a glory, it seems, in the mystery of a language that can be deciphered only by initiates of the secret society; there is a great sense of power and an even greater actuality of power in controlling a language that in turn controls the most pressing affairs of individuals and communities; and there is a monopolistic safety in being able to manipulate a language which because it was part of the creation of legal problems must be part of their solutions as well. It was true in 1921, and it is still true sixty-six years later. This essay …

Footnotes As Product Differentiation, Arthur D. Austin
Footnotes As Product Differentiation, Arthur D. Austin
Vanderbilt Law Review
When Professor Fred Rodell announced his first Goodbye to Law Reviews in 1936, he established the accepted wisdom for law review criticism. Rodell complained that law review literature had two serious defects-style and content. Subsequent criticism has been persistently harsh; the common theme is that "[the extraordinary proliferation of law reviews, most of them student edited and all but a handful very erratic in quality, has been harmful for the nature, evaluation, and accessibility of legal scholarship."
Having exhausted complaints on substance, critics uncovered another mischievous threat. They discovered that articles are Typhoid Marys of an insidious plague-footnotes. Second-rate style …

Thinking (By Writing) About Legal Writing, Philip C. Kissam
Thinking (By Writing) About Legal Writing, Philip C. Kissam
Vanderbilt Law Review
The practice of law requires a good amount of original writing,and it is a commonplace today that much of this writing is done rather poorly. Charles Fried, the United States Solicitor General,has implied that much legal writing, especially in appellate briefs,is "turgid and boring."' John Nowak, a Professor of Law at the University of Illinois, has reiterated Fred Rodell's classic complaint that the writing in law reviews lacks both style and substance. More fundamentally, Steven Stark, in his Harvard Law Review comment, has argued that the style and substance of most legal writing are flawed by lawyers' ideological commitments to …
Book Review: Legal Writing: Getting It Right And Getting It Written By Mary Barnard Ray And Jill J. Ramsfield, Ruth C. Vance
Book Review: Legal Writing: Getting It Right And Getting It Written By Mary Barnard Ray And Jill J. Ramsfield, Ruth C. Vance
Seattle University Law Review
Legal Writing: Getting It Right and Getting It Written is a legal writing aid that is in a class by itself. This book does not fall neatly into the five predictable classifications of legal writing texts: those on legal research, those devoted to brief writing and oral argument, those on how to take law examinations and brief cases, those aimed at polishing grammar and style, and those that treat the subject generally. While there is still no single text that will completely cover any legal writing course, the references in Legal Writing obviate the need for a grammar and style …
