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
