"The writing tips in this book work." --TRIAL, January 2004
Carol Schiess said Review of Writing for the Legal Audience. Certainly I give this book five stars. I know the book, having read it before and after publication. And I know the author, a brilliant man who is my son. So, if the fact of our blood relationship renders this review not useful, I'm sorry. It's a really good book, full of good ideas for legal writers. The writing in it is, as one would hope, clear and direct. No way to misunderstand. What's more, it's full of wit and humor.And I have a personally signed copy. Isn't that nice.
