Introduction to Legal Document Drafting
Description
Book Introduction
A Useful Guide to Legal Document Writing for Law School Students and Legal Professionals
『Introduction to Legal Document Writing』 is designed as a textbook for the 'Legal Document Writing' course offered at law schools, and as a reference material for law school students participating in practical training when writing legal documents.
This revised edition reflects the contents of the Civil Procedure Rules and the Code of Ethics for Attorneys, which have been revised since the first edition was published in 2011, and has also refined some of the narrative structure for the reader's convenience.
As important as 'understanding of legal principles' is the quality required of a good lawyer, 'communication skills', especially writing skills.
A good lawyer should be able to think like a lawyer and express his or her legal opinions and reasoning in a logical and concise manner.
The quality of legal documents written in this way leads to an evaluation of the writer's understanding of legal principles, expertise, and sincerity, which in turn becomes a measure of professional reputation.
In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that most of a lawyer's work is connected to writing, and therefore, law schools must cultivate not only legal knowledge but also writing skills.
This book explains the process of completing a legal document and what legal professionals should do at each stage.
First, it covers specific principles and contents of writing legal documents, from basic matters such as the meaning of writing for legal professionals (Chapter 1), general writing methods for legal documents (Chapter 2), legal grounds that law school students should learn (Chapter 3), argumentation methods used in solving legal problems (Chapter 4), how to write law school exam answer sheets (Chapter 5), how to write opinions (Chapter 6), and matters related to writing various litigation documents (Chapters 7-9). It also includes examples of writing various legal documents as an appendix to help with actual document writing.
Not only law school students, but also practicing lawyers who are just entering the field will be able to master the basic skills necessary for drafting legal documents and acquire the ability and attitude to write good legal documents by going through the training process of "thinking, writing, and refining like a lawyer" presented in this book, thereby establishing a solid foundation for understanding legal principles.
