Writing by Numbers

Given the reality that legal writing is difficult for most new law students, Writing by Numbers: Legal Writing Made Easy aims to demystify the writing process by providing concrete formulas for mastering objective and persuasive legal writing. Put simply, at each juncture of your journey to become a proficient legal writer, this book gives you a roadmap to follow, broadly starting with the macro-formula CRAC (Conclusion, Rule, Analysis, and Conclusion) and then moving to micro-formulas for each part of the macro formula. The goal is that you will never find yourself lost—that is, you will never find yourself facing an entirely blank page without direction.
