"Effective word use is vital for anyone active in the law. For the attorney arguing a case or preparing a brief, for the jurist writing an opinion, even for the law student , words are ammunition needed to make the point." Look up your word in one column and see the corresponding advocacy word in the opposite column. One side gives a favorable version of a word and the matching column lists a critical form of the word.
