The Journal's mission is to "advance the study and practice of professional legal writing by becoming an active resource for the profession and by establishing a forum for conversation between practicing lawyers and legal writing scholars."
This peer-reviewed journal has alternated more traditional issues with a proceedings issue that includes articles based on presentations at the renowned Legal Writing Institute biennial summer conferences.
The Journal "seeks to promote better writing within the legal community. Because the field is so broad, the Journal's contents are purposely eclectic."
The Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration, presents this guide to legal writing to "help agencies produce clear, enforceable regulatory documents."
University of Texas School of Law writing professor Wayne Schiess' blog contains numerous hints and explanations. He also publishes a regular column in the Austin Lawyer, a publication of the Austin Bar Association.
