About the Author
Evan J. Roth graduated from Tufts University in 1982, where he earned his B.A. summa cum laude and was recipient of the Houston Scholarship in economics. Roth then spent the next year working for National Public Radio in Washington, DC, before attending the Georgetown University Law Center and earning his J.D. cum laude. At this time, he was also a member of the journal Law and Policy in International Business, and from 1986 to 1987 was Judicial Clerk for the Honorable W. Eugene Davis, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Lafayette, Louisiana. From 1987 to 1994, Roth was litigation associate for the law firm of Williams & Connolly in Washington, DC, and was senior associate on a litigation team that won millions of dollars for its clients as well as obtained the first reported judgment upholding a copyright on a national monument. Since then, Roth has served as Assistant U.S. Attorney in Portland, Maine, and is the Affirmative Civil Enforcement Coordinator, responsible for policy and litigation of all federal cases in the District of Maine seeking civil recovery for health care or procurement fraud. He is also the primary advisor for the U.S. Attorney’s Office regarding heath care privacy, federal HIPAA regulation, and Substance Abuse Confidentiality Regulations of 42 C.F.R. Part II. He is responsible for defending the United States in civil litigation in areas such as medical malpractice, personal injury, recovery of stolen property, Privacy Act/Freedom of Information Act, immigration, constitutional claims against federal officers, judicial review of administrative decisions, and labor and employment discrimination. He has received Special Achievement Awards from the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Every chapter challenges the reader to write to achieve a strategic objective. Each assignment has been carefully considered by the authors, and fully vetted to simulate the decision-making involved in the preparation of important legal writing, whether in a general counsel’s office, a law office, a government attorney’s office, or a judge’s chambers. Simply put, the authors’ approach is that effective legal writing does not exist in a vacuum. This book provides practical assignments that teach the student that the best legal writing is not an end in itself, but a means to a larger strategic objective.”,”bookEdition”:”1st”,”url”:”https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0521703433/”,”bookFormat”:”http://schema.org/EBook”,”additionalType”:”http://schema.org/PDF”,”fileSize”:”14 MB”,”accessibilityFeature”:[“login required”,”member access only”],”accessibilitySummary”:”PDF version available to authenticated members only.
