| Summary: | As authors of a book on writing targeted specifically to legal students and beginning professionals in law fields, Jessica L. Clark (George Washington U. Law School) and Kristen E. Murray (Temple U. Beasley School of Law) have a difficult task. Their target audience is students in legal education, who are now often asked to write sophisticated narrative research papers in programs that offer no instruction in either research or writing. It is an open question whether students would be better served by specialty products written by teachers in each field for that field's specific market, or by the experience and shared language of books and programs about good writing and scholarship. The authors here have tried a middle road. It has a practical focus on where good scholarship and good writing skills connect, such as choosing a topic that is interesting to you, not too broad, where you have access, and about which you might be able to discover something useful. When partnered with practical exercises in the classroom, or paired with a classic guide to good writing in any discipline, this book fills a huge gap for law students and law professionals who need to learn how to write.
