“I just finished @petersankoff’s Guide to Persuasive Legal Writing. It’s a phenomenal resource. I’d highly recommend it to all legal professionals and law students.”

“I love it so far! The style of writing feels like a conversation instead of a textbook. The little tips make a big difference too, like fighting the McGill Guide. I’ve always taken pride in my writing but when I review drafts now I feel like my arguments flow better.
And for $80, it’s probably one of the best practice resources I’ve invested in since opening my own firm.”
Jonathan T. Hughes, Criminal and Appeals Lawyer, Halifax
