Should be required reading from Day 1 at Law Schools... January 11, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Superb resource. I would suggest reading this, probably twice, before showing up for first year. I wish I had, although I got hold of this in time to make a difference in what I produced. I mean it - if you want to suck all there is to get out of the Law School process, pick this up.
Very helpful book August 31, 2003

This book was recommended by a professor since the final grade was based upon a final paper. I wish I had this book since 1st year. Great for people who plan to "write on" to law review as well as write any kind of legal scholarly paper. Highly recommend this.
A MUST-READ FOR LAW STUDENTS & ASPIRING LEGAL ACADEMICS June 29, 2002

"Why didn't we learn this in law school?!!"Anyone who survived the confusion of case-method during first semester law school and never learned anything useful until studying commercially available outlines the night before final exams knows the feeling of relief this book provides. SCHOLARLY WRITING FOR LAW STUDENTS is not a crutch for the lazy. It's an extremely well-organized and comprehensive guide to figuring out the precise steps required to produce quality scholarly legal writing.
Fajans & Falk don't spoon-feed you a "how-to" on scholarly writing -- they simply give you a clue and then help you find your own way. They are unpretenious, funny, and inspiring. Buying this book is easily the best investment I've ever made. I've never written an amazon.com review before -- but this book inspired me to do so. I've bought a copy of this book for every law student I know. I refer to this book at least once a week to assist in my own legal scholarship...
