Legal Writing: A Systematic Approach by Diana Pratt
Each step in the process is introduced separately so students can concentrate on mastering each skill before attacking another one. Although the book was developed for a four-credit course, the process approach also works well in courses with a varying number of credits and styles of instruction. Topics covered include an introduction to the law; legal analysis; the basic office memorandum; the more complicated memorandum; a brief to the trial court; appellate advocacy; and oral advocacy.
