Description
Plain English for Lawyers, Sixth Edition is the classic guide to clear, effective, and professional legal writing that has helped law students, lawyers, judges, and legal writing instructors for nearly four decades. Widely regarded as one of the most influential books on legal communication, this updated edition continues its tradition of teaching lawyers how to write with clarity, precision, and simplicity.
Originally authored by Richard Wydick and now co-authored by Amy Sloan, the sixth edition preserves the practical and accessible approach that made the book a standard resource in legal education while adding updated examples, modern writing guidance, and new chapter exercises. Despite its comprehensive coverage, the book remains concise and approachable, making it especially useful for busy law students and legal professionals.
The text focuses on transforming complicated legal writing into plain, understandable language without sacrificing accuracy or professionalism. Readers learn how to eliminate unnecessary legal jargon, improve sentence structure, organize ideas clearly, and communicate more effectively with clients, courts, and colleagues.
The latest edition also introduces guidance relevant to modern digital communication, including formatting and design techniques for electronic legal documents and online communication. Practical exercises throughout the book allow readers to apply the principles immediately and strengthen their legal writing skills through hands-on practice.
