This well-preserved second edition of Henry Weihofen’s “Legal Writing Style” offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of legal writing pedagogy in the latter half of the 20th century. Weihofen, a renowned legal scholar and professor at the University of New Mexico School of Law, sought to impart his wisdom on crafting clear, concise, and persuasive legal documents to aspiring attorneys. Published in 1980, this volume reflects the changing landscape of legal education, as law schools began to place greater emphasis on practical skills like legal writing alongside theoretical coursework. Collectors and legal historians will appreciate this work as a time capsule of legal writing instruction from a formative era, while writers and scholars may find Weihofen’s timeless advice on clarity and precision still relevant today.
