Necessary for legal writing, it discusses how to organise ideas, create and refine prose, and improve editing skills. Other than serving as a text for law students, the book is also invaluable as a reference work.

The book also gives lists of necessary addresses, government posts and departments, law report citations and provisions of some important Acts, quotable quotes and sample question papers. Written for law students this book will be useful to anyone grappling with the basics of legal language or the peculiarities of the profession.
