Summary: A "Must Have" for Anyone Engaged in Legal Writing
Comment: Despite the fact that many attorneys spend much of their time writing motions, briefs, memos and such with the intent of writing clearly and persuasively, most attorneys fail miserably at doing so. Many judges, the very people the attorneys are attempting to persuade complain of how terribly most attorneys write.
Now we have Bryan Garner to the rescue. If you don't know about Bryan, he is one of the preeminent legal scholars on the subject of writing clearly and persuasively. Bryan helps attorneys cut through the clutter of legalese, organize their arguments, and, ultimately, draft documents that often will win their argument solely on the basis of the fact that the Judge can at least read and understand the message.
Law students can also benefit from the information found in this book. I would even recommend it for the average layperson who wishes to represent their self in court or who simply wants to write more clearly and directly. Every lawyer should have this book on their shelf and follow its advice religiously. This book may very well be the "bible" of legal writing.
Rating: 5
Summary: A well-designed and highly useful guidebook
Comment: My first Garner book was "The Winning Brief," purchased as I was preparing for an ultimately successful fight against a speeding ticket, and I was instantly taken by his clear and informative style.
This book continues that trend. Garner is an exceptional writer, and even the best of writers, legal or otherwise, can learn a great deal from this book.

Summary: Legal Writing Bible.
Comment: Where would I be without this book? Prior to law school I purchased this book. During my first year I had very little time to read it, but I tried to pick up bits and pieces where I could, where relevant. Prior to the traditional second year, law students compete for spots on the law review and other journals that may be published out of their schools. Prior to sitting down to consume my law review packet, I did my best to digest all I could from Brian Garner's outstanding brief legal writing "Bible," as I now refer to it. To make an already long story shorter, I made Iowa Law Review and now carry this book with me whenever I know I'm going to be required to do legal writing or editing. This semester I am a federal law clerk intern, and I've already used the book countless times to check my own writing style against seasoned practitioners and law clerks alike. Next to my bluebook, Garner's Elements of Legal Style is like my watch - I can't imagine surviving life without it.
