The writing of opinions is an important part of the practice of most independent practising barristers. The Manual takes a systematic approach in covering the essential elements of the skill of opinion writing. Good writing and the use of Plain English are considered first. The Manual then covers analysis of the issues in the case and the planning the structure of the opinion. Particular attention is given to considering matters which students of academic law will not have addressed in the necessary detail (or at all), such as the importance of advising on practical matters such as evidence and procedure. Chapters are particularly devoted to taking students with an academic background through a rigorous approach to analysing a brief and showing them how to apply their knowledge of the law. The Manual includes a selection of sample opinions written for various purposes by practising barristers.
