<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From a master teacher and writer, a fully revised and updated edition of the results-oriented approach to legal writing that is clear, that persuades--and that WINS.</b> <p/>More than almost any profession, the law has a deserved reputation for opaque, jargon-clogged writing. Yet forceful writing is one of the most potent weapons of legal advocacy. In this new edition of <i>Writing to Win</i>, Steven D. Stark, a former lecturer on law at Harvard Law School, who has inspired thousands of aspiring and practicing lawyers, applies the universal principles of powerful, vigorous prose to the job of making a legal case--and winning it. <p/><i>Writing to Win</i> focuses on the writing of lawyers, not judges, and includes dozens of examples of effective (and ineffective) real-life legal writing--as well as compelling models drawn from advertising, journalism, and fiction. It deals with the challenges lawyers face in writing, from organization to strengthening and editing prose; offers incisive ways of improving arguments; addresses litigation and technical writing in all its forms; and covers the writing attorneys must perform in their daily practice, from email memos to briefs and contracts. Each chapter opens with a succinct set of rules for easy reference. <p/>With new sections on client communication and drafting affidavits, as well as updated material throughout, <i>Writing to Win</i> is the most practical and efficacious legal-writing manual available.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Steven D. Stark is a former cultural commentator for CNN, National Public Radio, and the Voice of America. He has written frequently for the <i>New York Times</i>, the <i>Los Angeles Times</i>, the <i>Atlantic Monthly</i>, and both the <i>Boston Globe </i>where he was an op-ed columnist and the <i>Montreal Gazette</i> where he was a world sports columnist. A former Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School, he is a graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School.</p>
