Plain English for Lawyers

I thought this was helpful and easy to understand.

This is a nice book to use as a refresher on the important elements of good legal writing. The exercises in each chapter and the sample answers in the Appendix are a great way to check your understanding of the material. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve their legal writing skills.

I am a law student and english is not my first language. I have found this book to be invaluable and extremely well written. The ease of use, as well as the extremely well-written and informative content, makes it one of my go-to manuals for all my writing assignments. That being said, I think the title may be misleading. Although it might be geared towards legal writing, the format and content would be appreciated by anyone looking to improve their writing skills- lawyer or not.

Plain English for Lawyers is a awesome book that can be understood at most levels in education. If this book is too complex, I recommend the book, Punctuation Plain and Simple, both books are almost matching in explanations verbatim except the latter uses even simpler language. Plain English for Lawyers differ by using explanations and examples from lawyer materials.

I've often been complimented on my writing. However, my writing has previously been the areas of creative or business writing. Legal writing is a whole different beast. While I have still received compliments on my writing in law school, this book has definitely helped me refine my writing significantly. After reading this book (well, portions of it, as I have not read the whole thing yet) many of the pitfalls in my own writing became blatantly obvious. Styles that work well when writing creatively can hinder legal writing. This book definitely helps.

This book is amazing. Don’t wait until a teacher assigns it; read it in your 1L year. Even non-lawyers can benefit from many of the tips. Worth every penny!

This book is very good for improving writing skills. It covers all aspects of good legal writing. Yet I don't think this book sufficent to make your legal writing perfect. Instead, you can take this book as a "beginning" for your legal english skills. Still, if you can able to afford another books on legal writing, this book also contribute a lot to your skill pack.

Incredible helpful for clear writing. Easy read with a huge impact. Highly recommend to any legal writer or student.

I received the book in fairly good condition. I am impressed by the quick turnaround and followup. All the best.

This book was meant as a gift and it was received with great enthusiasm. Since the content and quality of the book was known before, it was not a surprise that this book will be useful and valuable.

Great for law student who like to ramble on when writing a detailed statement of claim Etc.

大学の一年生の時、この本を勉強しました。 15年後でも、もう一回買って、生徒に教えています。 単純で、分かり易い文書を書きたい人だったら、このがおすすめ！

Very good book. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to excel as a lawyer
