Point Made: How to Write Like the Nation's Top Advocates

  • Edition : 2nd ed., 2014
  • Author(s) : Ross Guberman

With Point Made, legal writing expert Ross Guberman throws a life preserver to attorneys, who are under more pressure than ever to produce compelling prose. What is the strongest opening for a motion or brief? How to draft winning headings? How to tell a persuasive story when the record is dry and dense? The answers are "more science than art," says Guberman, who has analyzed stellar arguments by distinguished attorneys to develop step-by-step instructions for achieving the results you want.

Features:

  • Provides a strategic roadmap for practitioners on how best to formulate their motion or brief
  • Written by a renowned practitioner, educator, and consultant with decades of experience
  • Offers helpful examples, checklists, and trouble-shooting advice on real-life challenges

New to this Edition:

  • Introduces eight new superstar lawyers from Solicitor General Don Verrilli, Deanne Maynard, Larry Robbins, and Lisa Blatt to Joshua Rosencranz, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Judy Clarke, and Sri Srinvasan
  • Provides provocative new examples from the Affordable Care Act wars, the same-sex marriage fight, and many other recent high-profile cases
  • Offers considerably more commentary on the examples, along with dozens of style and grammar tips interspersed throughout
  • Concludes with an all-new set of 50 writing challenges corresponding to the 50 techniques
