Authors Camille Lamar Campbell and Olympia R. Duhart havedesigned every chapter and page to make narrative storytelling techniques the basis for any type of persuasive legal document. Students learn to create arguments that elevate their client's dilemma, demonstrating that the facts demand a decision in their client's favor. Detailed guidance to editing, revising, time management, and learning skills constitute a complete set of tools for budding legal writers. And within a narrative framework that highlights the intuitive nature of storytelling, familiar literary and cultural references build on students' own fund of knowledge.
