Updates to this addition include new exercises, advice for ESL students, enhanced discussion of email communication, more comparison and contrast between legal documents and student essays, and a companion website featuring additional exercises, a dictionary of grammatical terms, and in-depth explanations. LeClercq is retired from University of Texas Law School. Karen Mika (legal writing, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law) has been added as a new co-author.
