Language skills, study skills, argument skills and legal knowledge are vital to every law student, professional lawyer and academic. Legal Method, Skills and Reasoning suggests a range of 'how to' techniques for acquiring these academic and practical skills. It explains how to work with legal texts, how to read and write about the law; how to acquire effective disciplined study techniques; and how to construct legal arguments.

Packed full of practical examples and diagrams across the range of legal skills from language and research skills to mooting and negotiation, this new edition will be invaluable to law students who are looking to acquire and perfect the legal skill set essential to exam success.

The third edition is now supported by a companion website offering a wealth of additional resources for individual and group work for both lecturers and students. For students, the website offers real-life examples and practice for oral skills work including mooting and negotiation, and guidance on answering legal problem and essay-style questions.
