"The Elements of Legal Style" offers authoritative, down-to-earth and often witty advice on a broad array of writing concerns, from basic grammatical rules to enhancing clarity, force, and persuasiveness. It is written for lawyers, law students, judges, and law clerks. Throughout the book the author draws on splendid and not-so-splendid examples of legal prose to illustrate his points, quoting such eminences as Justice Holmes, Clarence Darrow, William Prosser, Fred Rodell, Ronald Dworkin, Laurence H. Tribe, and Justice Scalia. 4aDerecho 4aMetodologíazEstados Unidos xLenguaje  0aLawzUnited StatesxMethodology.1 a Wright, Charles Alan,d1927-2000423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0639/90043710-d.html423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0725/90043710-b.html
