1. Legal Research and Writing Guide
Legal Research and Writing are two skills that are considered indispensable to law students and lawyers alike. At the same time, writing a well-crafted article/blog post, case-comment etc. is not an easy task. To communicate one’s views/opinions in simple yet influencing terms is an art.
In line with its aim to promote quality legal research and writing, The Contemporary Law Forum is delighted to present to you all the “Guide to Legal Research and Writing”. The Document has been prepared in context of our bonus episode on the Fundamentals of Legal Research and Writing.

3. Reader Engagement Guide
“Legal writing that is engaging encourages the reader to engage with the
material by agreeing with it, disagreeing with it, reconstituting it into the reader ‘s own ideas, etc. In other words, writing that is engaging stimulates the reader ‘s thinking. And it is this quality that separates truly good legal writing from merely competent legal writing”- Mark Osbeck
With these words, we would like to leave you with our much anticipated Reader Engagement Guide. While not many people pay attention to it, reader engagement is what differs content written for oneself from content written for everyone else. And just in case you still doubt it, it is also one of the biggest factor for us before we publish a piece.
