Title: not for writing appellate briefs
Review: The tone of much of this book is condescending, the ideas oversimplified. This made the suggestions in this book, while they could be somewhat useful, offensive and almost useless to read (e.g., when analyzing your side and "their" side, identify "potential 'goods'" and "potential 'bads'"). Give me a break.And the model brief -- let's just say if you use the one in this book as a model, you will make a fool of yourself. Take a look instead at Garner's Legal Writing in Plain English - good advice without simplistic language or broken grammar rules. The whirlybird is the best, plus the book helps you get off the ground if you're stuck beginning.
