Book Talk Series Event for the book The (Not Too Serious) Grammar, Punctuation, and Style Guide to Legal Writing by Diana J. Simon, forthcoming October 2022, with commentary by Susie Salmon. Book Description: There is no doubt that students’ proficiency in grammar and punctuation has declined over time, and this book is designed to help resolve that problem. What can be a serious and boring topic has been recast into an entertaining yet informative guide on punctuation, grammar, and other style issues. This book goes beyond the black letter rules that students must follow—it also tells the story behind those rules, making it relatable and more likely to stick with the student. Unlike other style guides, it uses caselaw to help convince students that these issues are important—even to the Supreme Court (and other courts) where winning or losing can turn on the placement of a comma.
