Legal Writing & Style Guide

As a barrister I have enjoyed the process of drafting documents and also reading other barristers' pleadings and written opinions: but only if they are concise and well written!

Recently I became aware of the website of Ian Neil SC from the Sydney Bar and I noticed that he had attached a style guide for writing as a barrister. 

I approached Ian and received his consent for me to attach his style guide.

In nearly all respects I agree with his suggestions. Those where I differ are only appearance details. 
​
I endorse the style guide for all young barristers to review and employ.
