Bryan Garner has some advice for law students and newly minted lawyers for finding good legal writing. "Law students need models. They need to see what a good executive
summary looks like, with a question presented and a brief answer--not
the typical question presented but one that can actually be read and
understood by any intelligent reader in one reading. They need to see a
statement of facts that is neither too sparse nor too detailed. They
need to see how the body of the memo states the law, develops the
analysis, and applies the law to the facts at hand to prove the
conclusion that was stated clearly on page one." Read more on the ABA website.
