Being a good law student or a good lawyer is about so much more than knowing the law. It is
important to be able to find, analyse and articulate that law in a way that can be understood.
Research and writing are, therefore, core legal skills that should be developed during, and
well beyond, a law degree.
Legal Research and Writing Skills in Ireland offers an easy-to-use and accessible guide on
the core legal skills of research and writing. While Legal Research and Writing Skills in
Ireland is specifically tailored to developing these skills in an Irish context, much of the
information included in this book will be of value to a reader outside of Ireland as well. Using
worked examples and practical tips, this book guides the reader through the stages of
undertaking a piece of legal writing. It does this in three parts. Part I condenses and clarifies
the research process by discussing research planning and how to find sources of legal
information. Part II delves into the writing process and offers advice and tips on good writing
generally and effective legal writing specifically. It also includes guidance on how to cite your
sources. Finally, Part III combines the skills discussed in Parts I and II and applies these to
practical situations in which legal research and writing will be relevant. In doing so it
discusses, and provides practical tips on, how to plan and write a dissertation proposal, how
to tackle a written assignment, the elements and structure of effective emails and letters, and
the written portion of a presentation.
