The second edition of Legal Writing by Design remains unique in demonstrating how to transform thoughts into writing by explaining the link between thinking and writing. It doesn’t just tell the reader to “argue by analogy” or to “apply the rule” ― it explains the design of the thinking involved in those processes and shows how to transform that design into writing.

Through easily understandable hypotheticals, outlines, graphics, exercises, and writing samples, many garnered during the authors’ combined forty-plus years of teaching legal writing and appellate advocacy to law students, Legal Writing by Design comprehensively demonstrates how to transform ideas into exceptional writing. It demystifies the writing process by explaining the design of (1) deductive and inductive reasoning, (2) analogical thinking, and (3) relevancy. Once that design is understood, writing becomes easy.
