Abstract
Whether you’re drafting an advocacy letter or brief to the court, it should be obvious from reading the legal rule sections which side you represent. Drafting persuasive legal rules, like all writing conventions, can be done well by minding some basic patterns. While no one formula exists for good advocacy, these techniques can help you frame persuasive rules in a way that favors your client’s position.
