书籍简介

二十多年来，法律界领先的清晰写作和清晰思维指南现已更新。

令人钦佩的清晰、简洁、实用和有力——而法律写作往往不具备这些品质。它以晦涩难懂和不必要的法律术语而闻名。自2001年以来，布莱恩·A·加纳的《浅显英语法律写作》通过为律师、法官、律师助理、法学院学生和法律学者提供改进书面工作的合理建议和实用工具，帮助解决了这个问题。这本不可或缺的书籍现在是该领域领先的清晰写作指南，鼓励法律作家挑战传统，并对写作过程提供宝贵的见解：如何组织思想、创作和完善散文，以及提高编辑技巧。《

浅显英语法律写作》通俗易懂、诙谐幽默，借鉴了加纳在数十年教学经验中收集的真实写作样本。书中提供的建议一针见血，涵盖了从分析性和说服性写作到法律文书起草等各类法律材料，并且每一部分都通过初级、中级和高级练习来强化本书的原则。在

第三版中，加纳出版社保留了之前版本的结构，并进行了更新，增加了新内容。本书新增了关于如何使写作生动具体以及如何使用图表增强论证的章节。对于关键主题（例如实现平行结构、避免使用法律术语、撰写有效的开场白和摘要以及在文本中穿插引用）的覆盖范围和示例也得到了扩展。法律文件示例和练习也已更新，新添加的清单提供了每个部分的快速摘要。

总之，对于寻求提高写作水平的法律专业人士和学生来说，这一新版本将是迄今为止最实用的版本。

The leading guide to clear writing—and clear thinking—in the legal profession for more than two decades, now newly updated.

Admirably clear, concise, down-to-earth, and powerful—all too often, legal writing embodies none of these qualities. Its reputation for obscurity and needless legalese is widespread. Since 2001, Bryan A. Garner’s Legal Writing in Plain English has helped address this problem by providing lawyers, judges, paralegals, law students, and legal scholars with sound advice and practical tools for improving their written work. Now the leading guide to clear writing in the field, this indispensable volume encourages legal writers to challenge conventions and offers valuable insights into the writing process: how to organize ideas, create and refine prose, and improve editing skills.

Accessible and witty, Legal Writing in Plain English draws on real-life writing samples that Garner has gathered through decades of teaching experience. Trenchant advice covers all types of legal materials, from analytical and persuasive writing to legal drafting, and the book’s principles are reinforced by sets of basic, intermediate, and advanced exercises in each section.

For this third edition, Garner has retained the structure of the previous versions, with updates and new material throughout. There are new sections on making your writing vivid and concrete and on using graphics to enhance your argument. The coverage and examples of key topics such as achieving parallelism, avoiding legalese, writing effective openers and summaries, and weaving quotations into your text have also been expanded. And the sample legal documents and exercises have been updated, while newly added checklists provide quick summaries of each section.

Altogether, this new edition will be the most useful yet for legal professionals and students seeking to improve their prose.
