Legal Writing: Sense and Nonsense
Published in Paperback by West Information Pub Group (1982)
Author: David Mellinkoff
Amazon base price: $24.40
Used price: $21.73
Average review score:

The first great legal-writing expert?
After his tremendous scholarly work "The Language of the Law," Mellinkoff wrote this gem. I really like it, and I wish I had read it 10 years ago. It's a book-length brief in favor of plain-English legal writing.

He takes strong positions on legal words and phrases that should be cut from legal writing, but he knows his stuff and backs up his assertions. He gives lots of practical advice for handling the challenges that come from trying to write clearly and simply. And he does it with a light and informal tone that is at once entertaining and persuasive.

An excellent book.
