In their professional lives courtroom lawyers must do these
two things well: speak persuasively and write persuasively.
In this noteworthy book, two of the most noted legal writers
of our day Justice Antonin Scalia and Bryan A. Garner
systematically present every important idea about judicial
persuasion in a fresh, entertaining way. Making Your Case:
The Art of Persuading Judges is a guide for novice and
experienced litigators alike. It covers the essentials of
sound legal reasoning, including how to develop the
syllogism that underlies any argument. From there the
authors explain the art of brief-writing, especially what to
include and what to omit, so that you can induce the judge
to focus closely on your arguments. Finally, they show what
it takes to succeed in oral argument. The opinions of
Justice Scalia are legendary for their sharp insights,
biting wit, and memorable phrasing. The writings of Bryan A.
Garner, editor in chief of Black s Law Dictionary, are
respected inside and outside legal circles for their
practical guidance on the art of writing and advocacy.
Together the Scalia-Garner team has produced a fresh,
innovative approach to a timeless topic.
