OakBridge The Art of Legal Writing By Richa Kachhwaha 2nd Edition June 2025

The Art of Legal Writing, first published in 2019, was an attempt to help young lawvers and law students to make an impact with writing. Understanding how the human mind absorbs information and applying those principles while writing were kev takeaways of the book. It discussed three maior areas of legal writing, ie.. linguistic tools of contract drafting, the art of written advocacy, and writing for businesses by in-house lawyers. Given the lack of literature in India on the art and nuances of legal writing, the book tried to fill that void. The success of the first edition is the driving force behind taking the discussion forward in this second edition.

Content of the Book is as follows – 

• The Fundamentals of Legal Writing..
