It also focuses on how to develop and communicate legal arguments, with both good and bad examples of written work considered and discussed in the text.Legal Writing is particularly useful for undergraduate students, especially at the beginning of degree studies, and to GDL and CPE students too.This fully revised third edition includes: A wholly revised chapter on referencing to employ the OSCOLA style, which has become the default style of most UK law schools in recent years More worked examples throughout the text, providing examples from across the legal curriculum, including public law, contract and tort A new chapter on academic writing styles An improved companion website with increased guidance for revision, FAQs, more MCQs and worked examples from the Routledge Questions and Answers website, showing the difference between good, average and poor exam answers"-- Provided by publisher.
