A guide to legal research and writing without a lawyer

Written for incarcerated people handling legal matters on their own, this guide focuses on research and clear, direct legal writing. Its subject is the practical work of preparing legal documents: replacing jargon-heavy language with writing that can communicate a request for relief. The description places the book in the context of criminal procedure and presents accessible writing as especially important for inmates navigating legal issues without representation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Incarcerated people preparing legal materials without an attorney
  • Readers seeking an introductory, practical guide to legal research and writing
  • People interested in clear, direct writing for legal documents

Book overview

This easy-to-follow and understand guide provides you with the tools necessary to obtain relief in your legal issues. Clear, concise and direct legal writing is essential for inmates especially where the "deck is already stacked against you. "Prison "writ-writers" tend to use opaque, jargon-filled writing, which only serves to further alienate those reading it. In this manner relief is hard-pressed to obtain, if at all.This book, created for inmates, is the most practical and effective manual available for pro se use. Every inmate should own a copy and many already do. If you want to win relief in your writing...this is the book for you.
