Book Reviews of Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges
Book Review: Great for law students (and practicing lawyers, too)
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was recommended to me by my undergraduate moot court coach, and it was very helpful for both oral argument and brief-writing competitions. The book is written for practicing attorneys, and gives detailed hints and guidelines for what to do and what not to do when arguing before a judge whether in oral or written form. Some of the advice seems obvious, but other points are nuanced and not intuitive. The coauthors disagree in a couple of areas, and the debate is interesting and amusing to read. It is not long, and there is a lot of information packed into the 200 pages. I would recommend this book for anyone who is serious about wanting to improve their legal argument skills, especially those who don't have the time for a lot of extra reading.
Summary of Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges
In their professional lives courtroom lawyers must do these two things well: speak persuasively and write persuasively. In this noteworthy book, two of the most noted legal writers of our day Justice Antonin Scalia and Bryan A. Garner systematically present every important idea about judicial persuasion in a fresh, entertaining way. Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges is a guide for novice and experienced litigators alike. It covers the essentials of sound legal reasoning, including how to develop the syllogism that underlies any argument. From there the authors explain the art of brief-writing, especially what to include and what to omit, so that you can induce the judge to focus closely on your arguments. Finally, they show what it takes to succeed in oral argument. The opinions of Justice Scalia are legendary for their sharp insights, biting wit, and memorable phrasing. The writings of Bryan A. Garner, editor in chief of Black s Law Dictionary??, are respected inside and outside legal circles for their practical guidance on the art of writing and advocacy. Together the Scalia-Garner team has produced a fresh, innovative approach to a timeless topic.General Books
