In their professional lives, courtroom lawyers must do these two things well: speak persuasively and write persuasively. In this noteworthy book, two noted legal writers systematically present every important idea about judicial persuasion in a fresh, entertaining way. The book covers the essentials of sound legal reasoning, including how to develop the syllogism that underlies any argument. From there the authors explain the art of brief writing, especially what to include and what to omit, so that you can induce the judge to focus closely on your arguments. Finally, they show what it takes to succeed in oral argument.
Antonin Scalia, born in Trenton, New Jersey, was an Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986. He served until his death in 2016. He was te first Italian-American justice. He was known for his conservative views and strong defense of the executive branch, believing the President of the United States should be paramount in most areas. In many cases, he wrote differing opinions than the court majority, and used scathing language to get his point across.
Bryan A. Garner is a noted author, lawyer, and lexicographer, widely known for his books on English grammar and legal writing. Among his most popular works are Garner's Modern English Usage, Legal Writing in Plain English, and The Elements of Legal Style. His writings typically blend prescriptive and descriptive linguistic advice and are regarded as invaluable resources in legal and scholarly contexts. Garner's contributions to the field have earned him numerous accolades, including the prestigious Burton Award for Legal Achievement.
Garner was born in Lubbock, Texas. He has a profound passion for language and its proper use, which is reflected in his comprehensive approach to both general English and specific legal terminology. Over the years, he has collaborated with other esteemed authors and scholars, including Justice Antonin Scalia, with whom he co-authored Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges and Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts.
