Download or read book Opinion Writing written by Ruggero J. Aldisert and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Third Edition of Opinion Writing breaks new ground for all writers of trial and appellate opinions--trial and appellate judges, administrative law judges, arbitrators, as well as current and aspiring law clerks. The differences between this edition of Opinion Writing and its predecessors are fundamental. To be sure, four core topics remain the same: (1) theoretical concepts underlying a judicial opinion; (2) the anatomy of an opinion; (3) writing style; and (4) opinion writing checklists. But this edition is more than a teaching text. Instead, it takes opinion writers by the hand and reveals to them step-by-step how to write a judicial opinion. It is more than "what"; it is "how." Serving for over 50 years on the bench, Judge Aldisert has participated in thousands of opinions written by his colleagues and him. His experience serving in the different U.S. Courts of Appeals across the country--from Atlanta, Georgia, to Seattle, Washington--has provided him a rare opportunity to acquire first-hand knowledge of the operation of the judicial process. This text aims to share that knowledge through personal anecdotes, illuminating opinion excerpts, and even some cartoon illustrations. This book also provides a series of checklists--how to write, test, and shorten the product for all who are charged with publicly justifying a judicial decision. This edition, equal parts teaching manual and compendium of information, is a must-have.

Download or read book Drafting written by David Emmet and published by Blackstone Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drafting is one of the most specialist and refined skills that must be mastered by those training for the Bar. Not only must a barrister be able to draft with absolute clarity and precision, but also use drafting skills effectively for persuasive and tactical purposes. One can only learn drafting skills through practice, but once the elements have been grasped it becomes a transferable skill which can be used in the creation of many different legal documents. This Manual takes the trainee barrister through a range of different types of draft, including all themajor types required for general practice. The emphasis is, however, on statements of case, both because of their importance in civil litigation, and because they provide the best foundation for the learning process. The Manual continues to grow and develop. It takes full account of recent changes in the law, the latest amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 and the Practice Directions. It also incorporates the guidance given by the new Queen's Bench Guide. In particular, the chapter on Judicial Reviewhas been substantially updated to reflect the new Part 54 procedure. This is intended to be a comprehensive teaching Manual which will be of real practical use to all readers. Every example is followed by a detailed commentary explaining the draft. Throughout the Manual are a series of exercises, which will enable practitioners and trainees to practise and developtheir skills and to discover further techniques not included in the examples.
