"Bryan AGarner is a genius" (David Foster Wallace) "Interspersed with rules of good writing is a revolutionary manifesto packaged in a plain gray wrapper. This book won't draw attention merely by sitting on your shelf, but if you put certain pieces of its advice in the next legal document you draft, you are sure to raise the eyebrows of any lawyer who reads it." (Trial) "This magnificent book explains every major principle of plain legal writing in a way that no other book has ever done. Get a copy for every law student, lawyer, and legislator that you know." (Mark E. Wojcik, John Marshall Law School)"
