Through easily understandable hypotheticals, outlines, and writing samples, Legal Writing by Design demonstrates how to transform ideas into writing. It demystifies the writing process by explaining the design of deductive and inductive reasoning, as well as analogical thinking. Once that design is understood, writing becomes easy.

Legal Writing by Design is unique in that it explains how to transform thoughts into writing by explaining the link between thinking and writing. It doesn't just tell the reader to "argue by analogy" or "apply the rule"—it explains the design of the thinking involved in those processes and shows how to transform that design into writing.

In clear terms, Rambo and Pflaum give readers the confidence and direction to apply the reasoning skills they already possess to legal writing.

"It's a magnificent text!" — Mark Hoch, Assistant Dean for Academic Success, Charleston School of Law
“It is not only an excellent writing and appellate practice text, but also useful for any practicing attorney… anyone who needs to write clearly and persuasively could use this excellent guide.” — Law Library Journal, Spring 2002
