This is not about tax procedure. It is about writing and persuading. The goal of learning tax procedure is to persuade in a tax setting. So, I encourage students to read this blog entry about the art of persuasion and the use of hyperbole.
“If you are a lawyer, don’t write this stuff. … If you hire lawyers, don’t let them write it.” (The Volokh Conspiracy 9/24/15), here. The actual author of the content is Gary Kinder at Wordrake, here.
Indeed, there is another good recent offering from Gary Kinder, Once Upon a Time I Fell, and It Has Made All the Difference (Wordrake), here, where Kinder recommends the best writers' reference books.
Both are pretty short reads, entertainingly written and, well, persuasive.
Enjoy!
