Supreme Court Justices Speak Out on the Importance of Legal Writing

By Brett Gilbert

ADVERTISEMENTS
Bryan Garner is editor-in-chief of Black's Law Dictionary since its seventh edition, and he is a prolific author. His works include The Elements of Legal Style, The Winning Brief, The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style, Legal Writing in Plain English, Securities Disclosure in Plain English, and many other books and articles. In 2003, The Chicago Manual of Style incorporated his restatement of English grammar into its 15th edition.

In 2006 and 2007, Mr. Garner interviewed eight of the nine Justices about legal writing and advocacy. The complete interviews are online here. It makes for very interesting listening, and it reaffirms the importance of strong research and writing skills.
