pleadings
Canonical format to present email evidence in a pleading (petition)
<p>Defendant emails are to be presented in a pleading:  conciseness is the key feature of the effective pleading. I am seeking canonical examples and elements of effective &amp;concise pleadings.</p>
<p>Is there a equivalent of Strunk &amp; White or the Chicago Manual of Style for pleadings?  Not sure if these books would help to write a concise pleading wherein the exhibits / evidence are email.</p>

<p>The equivalent of Strunk &amp; White would be <a href="https://www.westacademic.com/Garners-The-Redbook-A-Manual-on-Legal-Style-4th-9781642422672" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Redbook</a>. The equivalent to the Chicago Manual of Style would be <a href="https://www.legalbluebook.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Bluebook</a>.</p>
