Comprehensive research. Effective writing. Successful practice.
The need for comprehensive research and clear, effective writing spans all areas of legal practice, from civil litigation and constitutional law to family law and criminal appeals. In many situations, proper representation of a client's interests depends on the lawyer's ability to identify and research the relevant issues, and then persuasively communicate the points that support the client's case. However, navigating the world of case law and legislation can be overwhelming – especially for law students and new lawyers. That's what makes this latest edition of Legal Writing and Research Manual required reading, and a necessary addition to law libraries across Canada.
