Writing in Law: A Case Study of Undergraduate Case Briefs
Oxley, EL. - : Macquarie University, NSW, 1997
Abstract: This study is an attempt to expose the linguistic conventions of theCase Brief exercise, a writing task commonly required of beginningtertiary students in law. The Case Brief is a highly conventionalisedsummary of the reasoning of the presiding judges. Studies ofacademic and professional genres are becoming more numerous, butso far there are few which have analysed legal genres as represented inthe interdiscourse of student writers. The investigation aims to characterise the case summary genre and tohighlight some features which present these writers with particularlinguistic difficulties. The analysis is based on the Systemic Functionalgrammar of Halliday (1985/1994), which is concerned with thegrammatical choices favoured by speakers/writers in a given context.It is also informed by Swales (1990), Martin (1992) and Bhatia (1993). A total of 27 assessed Case Brief assignments are analysed; 12 writtenby native speakers (NSs) and 15 by non-native speakers (NNSs). TheNNSs were less successful at this task than the NSs. The analysisprocedure is ex.lfository and descriptive with some quantification ofthe data. Major difficulties found at the global level were amisorderi'ng of stages, a failure to present each judge's reasoningseparately and the omission of reference to previous cases. Thespecialised lexis, incongruent realisations and strings of circumstantialelements characteristic of this genre presented problems for thesenovice writers. They also had difficulty with the verbal movesinherent in reports of the judges' reasoning and with referentialrelationships. The study concludes that the rationale for the task and its link withlinguistic forms must be made explicit to students. Only then can the'invisible' conventions specific to legal discourse become visible, andthus amenable to teaching and learning. Collaboration betweendiscipline and language specialists can make this possible.
