1. Point Made
How to Write Like the Nation's Top Advocates
A practical guide for lawyers and advocates that teaches how to craft persuasive legal writing by leading with the point, organizing arguments for immediate clarity, and using concrete examples and tight sentence-level techniques to keep readers engaged. It pulls lessons from top trial and appellate advocates to show how rhetorical choices, strong openings and closings, purposeful headings, and visual aids make briefs and memos more convincing. The book emphasizes revision habits, economy of language, and structural moves—from paragraph topic sentences to narrative framing—that turn complex legal analysis into readable, persuasive advocacy. Overall it delivers concrete rules, templates, and before-and-after examples to help writers write with greater force and clarity.
