Summary: Still worth reading, 20 years later.
Comment: This book was published in 1982, but I liked it, and I think most lawyers could learn a great deal from it. It covers details, like the ten most common punctuation errors in legal writing, as well as more general topics like audience, organization, and style. And it does all of that in a readable and persuasive text.

The authors' main point is that lawyers ought to write like human beings, not like mindless robots, and the book gives dozens of examples--both good and bad. The book was inspiring and a pleasure to read.
