Description - Grammar for Lawyers by Meehan & Tulloch
Grammar for Lawyers offers a succinct and practical guide to effective legal writing and to precise legal reading, drawing on both the expertise of professional grammarians and the analytical skills of judges in interpreting legal writing in the courts.
In Grammar for Lawyers the importance of understanding basic grammatical principles is placed in the context of judicial comment and analysis from Australia and other common law jurisdictions.
In this essential handbook to correct English usage, the authors of Grammar for Lawyers detail the uses of grammar, parts of speech, parts of a sentence and effective legal writing techniques. Common grammar problems are identified and incorrect or awkward usage that may lead to legal problems is discussed.
The third edition of Grammar for Lawyers has been fully revised and the authors have added several practical review exercises to assist readers in understanding how meanings are created in written language and how ambiguities may be eliminated.
Grammar for Lawyers is a clear and reliable reference for lawyers, students and non-lawyers alike seeking to acquire or upgrade their knowledge in this area.
