Description

With a little knowledge and a lot of practice, you can do more than just sound more professional when you skillfully use commas, semicolons, and other forms of punctuation. You can, importantly, become more persuasive. That's what students who have taken Professor Patrick Barry's classes at the University of Michigan Law School, the University of Chicago Law School, and the UCLA School of Law have learned, as have the over 100,000 people who have enrolled in his online course "Good with Words: Writing and Editing" on the educational platforms Coursera and FutureLearn. Now, thanks to this book, you can undergo that same rhetorical transformation. Punctuation doesn't have to be a pain point. When properly mastered, it can be a powerful tool for all kinds of advocates.

Author Biography:

An All-American soccer player in college who holds both a PhD in English and a JD, Professor Patrick Barry joined the University of Michigan Law School after clerking for two federal judges and working in legal clinics devoted to combatting human trafficking and reforming the foster care system. He is the author of several books on advocacy--including Good with Words: Writing and Editing, The Syntax of Sports, and Notes on Nuance--and regularly puts on workshops for law firms, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. He also teaches at the University of Chicago Law School and has developed a series of online courses for the educational platform Coursera.
