The office of the U.S. solicitor general sometimes takes controversial positions, but most practitioners agree that the quality of its legal briefs is high. Some of the office’s style secrets are now available for lawyers to emulate or, in some instances, avoid.
The Solicitor General’s Style Guide has just been published and is available for purchase in printed and e-book formats. Lawyer Theodore “Jack” Metzler, formerly with Covington & Burling, published the manual on his own under his InterAlias imprint.
