Description

Just Briefs: Preparing for Practice, Fifth Edition, features the authors’ famously effective step-by-step approach to writing both motion briefs and appellate briefs and to presenting an effective oral argument. Using numerous examples, Just Briefs walks students through the process of identifying arguments and a theory of the case, selecting an organizational scheme, presenting the facts, issues, and law in a light favorable to their client, and countering the other side’s arguments. Included in the book are annotated examples of briefs in support and opposition to a motion for summary judgment and appellate briefs on a federal issue.
