Sketches on Legal Style

Sketches

Legal writing doesn’t have to be dull. In fact, with the right teacher, legal-writing lessons can be fun. Mark Cooney is the right teacher. His new book, Sketches on Legal Style, is fun, easy reading. It’s a collection of essays on legal writing, each delivered in a unique, humorous style. Two examples: “A Legal-Writing Carol” in the style of Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol”; “The Pleading,” a poetic lament in the style of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.” Speaking of Dickens, this little book would be a great stocking stuffer for the law student or legal-writing geek in your life (including yourself!).
