Suggestions on style

Download Style (PDF, 131K). Copyright © 2004 DRI and Raymond P. Ward.

DRI still sells the book in CD and paperback forms; you can find it by visiting the DRI bookstore, searching for appellate, and scrolling down the page a little bit. To view the list of contributing authors and the table of contents, click here.
