Judicial Writing Manual, Federal Judicial Center
This Writing Manual is obviously written specifically for federal judges. Twenty-four experienced jurists were interviewed to write the Manual. Its board of editors are judges, law professors, and legal writers. Although written for federal judges, it provides insight for any legal writer, especially those who practice in federal court. The Manual is available in print or you can download it as a .pdf document.
This is more. Look at the left-hand side of the page, and click on “Recent Materials“: http://tinyurl.com/odjltbl. From there, it just gets better. At this link you will find papers on specific areas of law. One that caught my eye is Meghan Dunn’s “Jurors’ and Attorneys’ Use of Social Media During Voir Dire, Trials, and Deliberations: A Report to the Judicial Conference Committee on Court Administration and Case Management.” It is available only online.
Even if you do not practice in federal court, this is definitely worth a look. -CCE
