Overview

"The writing of ""Opinions"" is a vital part of the work of a barrister. Every barrister must be able to give written advice to a client. This manual covers all the essential elements of the skill of opinion writing. The first section identifies the fundamental qualities of good writing; clarity, accuracy and conciseness. Every student will already have some skill in using words, but for the barrister the use of the written word must be developed to a professional level. The second section covers the specific skill of writing an opinion. A systematic approach is adopted to this process: analysing the issues in the case from the information contained in the instructions from the solicitor, deciding what advice should be given, deciding the best structure for the opinion and then producing the opinion itself. The manual also includes a substantial number of opinions written by practising barristers. The emphasis throughout is on the giving of practical advice in order to achieve a high standard of opinion writing."
