Elegant, useful
Simply the best book on legal persuasive writing ever written.
Interesting, useful, fun, full of great anecdotes. Terrific discussion of statutory interpretation. Great references to scholarly classical treatises on rhetoric. This book is wonderful both for its analysis of oral argument and for its discussion of written forms of persuasion, like briefs. I wish I had had it earlier.
My only complaint is the same one I have with virtually all modern style manuals: they advocate a simplistic prose style, characterized by short, conversational sentences, avoiding unusual words, eschewing Latin phrases. But I personally often find prose that breaks these rules a refreshing change. I enjoy reading a word or phrase I rarely see but that is perfectly chosen. And I enjoy learning new words or phrases. This book would condemn two of the greatest legal prose stylists out there: John Marshall and Learned Hand, both of whose opinions often contained sentences that would not work so well conversationally, that were full of long, convoluted sentences and classical allusions. My sense is that in this joint work Justice Scalia, who can write rich and interesting prose, pushed back against some of the simplifying strictures of his co-author.
Furthermore, I think that often too much emphasis on simple words and sentences serves to make more complex ideas too difficult to express or to understand. Thus, the book (like most books) argues against "jargon," but jargon, once learned, is often a much clearer way of expressing something than a rephrasing.
And the Roe v. Wade anecdote is great! It explains a lot...
In any case, I am hardly qualified to criticize Justice Scalia, whose writing is far beyond my own. Anyway, this is a great book.

Wonderful and useful book.
Format: Kindle
I am very glad I purchased this book. I used it over and over again. Wrote many notes and it added much value to pursue my cases at courts. This is a true asset for providing an overall overview with much advice.
I also purchased his other book The Winning Brief, but that is only available in paper format and it is mainly for linguistic help in writing briefs for appellate court, for the purpose of really perfecting your writing. At lower courts or supreme courts you just do not have the time to think in that much details and these courts may not even read it. You are lucky if you can say two sentences on court appearances. They do not put that much into details when making judgments, so most likely your case ends up in the appellate, and here that book becomes valuable too - The Winning Brief.
Again, this book really excellent and pleasant to read. The Kindle version was easy to search for anything, word, phrase, notes.
5 star book. THANKS.
