A Law Student with an M.D.
I use Lawmanac all the time. Having Lawmanac on my laptop is convenient because the searchable format is quickly navigated. Also, I would hate to carry a legal dictionary, federal rules, and the Bluebook to class, but I often bring my laptop with Lawmanac.

Lawmanac is a nifty little utility, which I suspect students -- especially those on law review -- will love. Some of the content is available elsewhere, but Lawmanac is convenient and easy to use.

The "State & Federal Tables" feature may be one of the most useful for practitioners. Much like the jurisdictional tables in section T.1 of The Bluebook, these Lawmanac pages list legal authorities by jurisdiction. However, when I compared the Lawmanac page for Colorado with the comparable page of The Bluebook, I found the Lawmanac page much more informative. First, Lawmanac explains the reporter abbreviations and court parenthetical information, showing both The Bluebook and ALWD Citation Manual form. Second, Lawmanac explicitly shows the dates of coverage and which reporters are official and which unofficial. Finally, and best of all, Lawmanac, includes links to free websites that contain (1) reports of many state appellate court decisions; (2) full-text copies of the Colorado statutes, with annotations; (3) Colorado Rules of Court; (4) Colorado Session Laws; and (5) the Colorado Code of Regulations.

Journal of the Delaware State Bar Association
"Good provides a series of clear analytic tools for determining why prose intended to be eloquent and persuasive so often turns out flabby and downright disagreeable to read. For example, he has an excellent passage on defining and nondefining relative pronouns and the confusion attendant upon disregarding their proper use. The lawyer whose writing derails a reader's attention by forcing him to figure out what the writer meant to say but said badly often transforms the reader (who may be a judge) into a foe."

Hon. Thomas C. Gordon, Jr., Justice, Virginia Supreme Court (ret.)
"The powers that be should require the bar to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest Mightier than the Sword."

Prof. Charles H. Whitebread II, USC Law Center
"Mightier than the Sword is a first-rate work. It teaches you exactly how to improve your writing in law school and beyond."

Washington State Bar News
"Good packages his rules in an engaging narrative style, with examples easy to remember. It's the sort of book you can remember without having to think about it much."

Student Lawyer
"What's different about [Sword] is not the ground that [the author] plows, but how deeply he plows it. Most guidebooks tell you to write with verbs (or, put another way, to avoid noun-based prose), give you a few examples, and turn you loose. If you want to learn the real technique, the grammar of transforming noun-based into verb-based prose, you have to look elsewhere for help.

"But Good doesn't send you elsewhere for help. Instead, he defines the writing problem--and solution--in grammatical terms, and then explains those terms to you so you'll know precisely how to diagnose and cure the sickness in your prose."

Library Journal
"This is a rare feat: a book on writing style and grammar that is easy to follow and fun to read. Recommended for all legal and writing collections."

William Safire, New York Times Magazine, Sunday, July 7, 2002
"A good read for word mavens."

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, July 28, 2002
"Then, in an easy style, Good takes the reader through 419 pages of proper usage of the English language. This is Strunk & White times two. And as authoritative and joyful to read."

Legal Times, "Good's Grammar," April 22, 2002, at 22-23
"When it comes to writing, C. Edward Good is the law . . . . As evidenced by the title of his book, Good's passion for grammar and good writing hasn't robbed him of his sense of humor or his sense of proportion. A Grammar Book for You and I ... Oops, Me! is clearly not the work of a scold. It's as witty and as common-sensical a guide to writing as you'll ever add to your reference shelf."

Bryan A. Garner, author, The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style, The Dictionary of Modern American Usage, and The Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage
"This book will awaken anyone's dormant interest in language--and help people overcome a fear of grammar. With verve and wit, Ed Good rescues grammar from ill-deserved neglect."

Vernon R. Rice, Vice-President, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
"Clarity of expression is essential in our business. Ed Good's book--especially in combination with the course he presented at DuPont--provides powerful tools to help our technical writers explain complex scientific concepts in understandable prose."

Byron G. Buck II, Senior Intellectual Property Attorney, Caterpillar Inc.
"We stress the importance of straightforward, concise, grammatically correct writing. This entertaining book will help us write about complicated subjects in a way our readers can easily comprehend."
