Writing Reasons: A Handbook for Judges, 5th Edition is a helpful guide for adjudicators on how to comprehensively structure and write judgments. Written by Edward Berry, an experienced lecturer and well-recognized seminar leader on the subject of writing judgments, this text is unique among works on legal writing in its focus on judgments, about which it offers guidance not only to adjudicators but to lawyers submitting written materials to the court.

The book is particularly useful as it provides:

  • Practical content devoted to the art of effectively writing judgments
  • Insightful commentary on structure, grammar and writing for your audience
  • Tips for making writing both clear and personal
  • A series of exercises designed to test your ability to put into practice the principles of judgment writing, as well as an Appendix containing suggested "answers" to these exercises
