Description
This practical guide to deconstructing judgments offers a unique insight into how judges decide cases. Through independent research and analysis, it provides a detailed understanding of the style and language used in judicial opinion.
Based on interviews with judges at all levels, from deputy district judges to Lords of Appeal, this book examines the nature of judgment and how it is written. It also explores the use of language in judicial opinion, argument and legal logic, fair criticism, and writing judgments.
With reference to reported judgments from the past 100 years, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the appellate process and common problems with law reporting. Suitable for both experienced practitioners and vocational students, it offers a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their understanding of judicial decision-making.
