Style & Persuasion - A Handbook for Lawyers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218188429)

Effective Communication Starts Here

As an attorney, your success depends on your ability to communicate effectively, regardless of the subject or audience. Your goal must be simple, unadorned prose; writing that is lean, strong, and free of embellishment. None of that comes effortlessly, but armed with the right strategies, it is easily achievable.

"This handbook is a must read for any lawyer seeking to unlock the secret of transforming legal argument into an enticing story that converts the reader to the author's point of view."
