Legal Writing Made Simple: A Step-by-Step Approach demystifies the writing process by providing concrete formulas for mastering both 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 book uses a federal employment discrimination claim as the basis for walking you through all stages of the litigation and writing process: researching and reading both the law and facts, understanding the law, assessing a case, arguing a case, and finalizing your work product. The goal is that with real-life examples and formulas to get you started you will never find yourself lost—that is, you will never find yourself facing an entirely blank page without direction.
