Legal writing can be found in briefs, memos, written arguments, research papers, and other documents. Whatever the application, legal writers are generally strong fundamental writers who can incorporate legal citations. Close attention to detail is also required, as is a grasp of grammar and writing style. Logical reasoning ability is a skill typically found in good legal writers.
