A DICTIONARY OF MODERN LEGAL USAGE – BRYAN A.GARNER

In its first edition, a Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage became a classic in its field. The first comprehensive guide to legal style and usage, it filled a gap in reference literature by giving practical advice on how to write dear, jargon-free legal prose. Lawyers, judges, and law students have come to rely on DMLU, as have many who confront the language o f the law in related fields, inducting journalism, business, and finance. Described in the Harvard Law Review as “a work worthy of comparison to H.W. Fowler’s Dictionary of Modem English Usage? DMLU has become an indispensable reference. Now Bryan A. Garner has thoroughly updated his award-winning work for this new edition. More than double the length and coverage o f the original, this expanded DMLU offers the latest and the last word on legal style and usage. Garner has drawn on his unrivaled experience as a legal editor to refine his positions on legal usage and to add a wealth of new material.

As much a style guide as a law dictionary, DMLU provides concrete answers and practical solutions to linguistic questions and stylistic dilemmas that commonly confront the legal writer. Easy-to-follow guidelines and illustrations steer readers away from grammatical blunders and linguistic pitfalls. The text contains thousands of quotations from judges and prominent legal minds, along with engaging essays that explore the many issues that modern legal writers routinely face.

DMLU in its second edition remains, asone reviewer hailed it in 1987, “truly unique in the literature o f law.” It is an essential resource for practicing lawyers, legal scholars, and countless others who deal with legal language.
