This book hits the sweet spot between books that focus only on briefs and books that try to do too much. Expertly written and constructed by Mary Beth Beazley and Monte Smith, Briefs and Beyond: Persuasive Legal Writing gives law professors options to supplement a persuasive writing course with complaints, demand letters, and other persuasive documents while not overwhelming their students.

Professors and student will benefit from:

• A behavioral approach to legal writing
• A focus on how documents look as well as what they say
• Sidebars that answer students’ common questions as they go along
• Effective formulas for legal writing that ease the writing process
• Many examples of both good and bad writing throughout that illustrate concepts covered in the text
