Jonathan T. Hughes, Criminal and Appeals Lawyer, Halifax"I love it so far! The style of writing feels like a conversation instead of a textbook. The little tips make a big difference too, like fighting the McGill Guide. I’ve always taken pride in my writing but when I review drafts now I feel like my arguments flow better.
And for $80, it’s probably one of the best practice resources I’ve invested in since opening my own firm."

This book is engaging, insightful, and, above all, helpful to new and experienced legal writers alike.

Keep it handy—you’ll want to refer to it again and again."
