For law students and others who are new to writing briefs, Beazley (law, Ohio State U.) helps ease the process by examining the various decisions a brief-writer must make, and by articulating criteria that will help the writer make those decisions. She presents many excerpts from briefs written by students that illustrate various aspects of brief writing. Her topics include appellate jurisdiction and the standards of review, facing the blank page, drafting the argument, seeing what you have written, following format rules, making your document reader-friendly and user-friendly, exploiting opportunities for persuasion, oral arguments, and moot court competitions. Earlier editions appeared in 2002 and 2006. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
