The Solicitor General's Style Guide: Second Edition

Completely updated! The Solicitor General, who represents the United States in the nation's highest court, is the only official of the U.S. government required by federal law to be "learned in the law."

Now in its second edition, The Solicitor General's Style Guide contains the manual used by the Office of the Solicitor General in preparing briefs to be filed in the Supreme Court. It contains three separate guides:

• Office of the Solicitor General Citation Manual,
• Office of the Solicitor General Supplement to the Supreme Court Rules, and
• Office of the Solicitor General Writing Preferences.

Supreme Court Justice Scalia and legal writing guru Bryan Garner have extolled the Solicitor General's briefs as models for other lawyers to follow. Now the citation and style secrets behind those briefs are available to lawyers and fans of the Solicitor General and the Supreme Court. New for the second edition:

• New, perhaps even secret grammar preferences
• New abbreviation preferences
• New typography preferences
• Updated for the 19th edition of the Bluebook
• Much more!

The Solicitor General's Style Guide cannot help you write like the Solicitor General, but now you can cite like the Solicitor General!
