A Practical Guide to Appellate Advocacy is the original process-based persuasive writing text. With her trademark specificity and clarity, author Mary Beth Beazley explains each step in the process of writing a legal brief, using annotated good and bad examples that illustrate how it’s done. Recognizing the needs of neophyte legal writers, the text offers formulas such as CREAC that students can use to write sound arguments, effective case descriptions, and thesis sentences. In addition, Chapter 4, “Facing the Blank Page”, offers solutions for addressing procrastination; Chapter 14 provides thorough coverage to prepare students for Moot Court Competitions, with helpful advice for communicating productively with teachers, mentors, and moot court coaches. Now a Connected eBook, A Practical Guide to Appellate Advocacy offers a host of supportive resources and materials on CasebookConnect, such as sample briefs and motions, guidance on brief writing style and citation, and reference material for court rules and related sources.

Aspen Publishing has partnered with Rhetoric to bring CICERO, a practice platform for law schools that helps students build real communication and advocacy skills through realistic, repeatable practice—without replacing human judgment.  Built by legal professionals and educators, CICERO supports active learning through simulations that mirror authentic legal tasks, from cold calls to oral arguments and interviews.
