Trial Practice Law Books


1.		Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury: Greatest Closing Arguments in Modern Law from Scribner Customer Review: This book, the first in a series of three by the authors, looks at significant trials in American history. What I found interesting as a teacher of trial advocacy is the ability to read closing arguments from a wide variety of lawyers that took place in the context of interesting trials. Is the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Trial Techniques, 7e from Aspen Publishers Price: $69.30 Customer Review: The book is well written. Every lawyer has their own style, so several of the "techniques" recommended in the book are criticized by practicing attorneys. The chapters are pretty broad, I believe the entire book is less than 10 chapters: picking a jury, opening statement, direct, cross, exhibits,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Devil's Advocates: Greatest Closing Arguments in Criminal Law from Scribner Price: $13.14 Customer Review: The authors once again have written a fine book which looks at landmark closing arguments. In this book, the third in their series, they focus on noteworthy crimes that formed the basis for trials. You will read the closing argument of Clarence Darrow, one of the 20th Century's most famous lawyers,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Art of Cross-Examination from Touchstone Price: $9.35 Customer Review: Unlike most reviewers of this book, I am not a lawyer. But I've been reading and rereading Wellman's classic ever since I stumbled across it in my early teens, and it's one of the most enjoyable books I know. Wellman's rich collection of courtroom anecdotes makes the book fascinating, funny and an... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Pretrial from Aspen Publishers Price: $70.20 Customer Review: This book is very much so a civil procedure review, with some trial prep tactics built in. I would reccommend using it in conjunction with a civil procedure class, but if you have already taken a civil procedure class, it is rather tiring and long	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		McElhaney's Trial Notebook, Fourth Edition from American Bar Association Price: $40.92 Customer Review: The book is required for my Litigation class but so far the readings seem like common sense. However, I think it could be useful to someone who hasn't had much exposure to court or the legal system as a whole.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.	[no image]	Objection!: How High-Priced Defense Attorney's Celebrity Defendents, and a 24/7 Media Have Hijacked Our Criminal from Hyperion Price: $13.45 Customer Review: IF I ever had to be on trial, Nancy Grace is the one I'd like in my corner! As I write this, she's already gotten married and given birth to her 2 children and if anyone deserves happiness,it's her. May God bless you and your new family! I'm proud to say you are from my home state and home town-I'm... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Trial Lawyer: What It Takes to Win (Section of Litigation's Monograph Series) from American Bar Association Price: $47.25 Customer Review: In the Epilogue, David Berg states that the next generation of trial lawyers must win back the public's respect. Given this belief, it is no surprise that this highly accomplished trial lawyer passionately shares with us the lessons he has learned over an astonishing career. It is difficult for... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		And Justice for Some: An Expose of the Lawyers and Judges Who Let Dangerous Criminals Go Free from Sentinel HC Price: $16.11 Customer Review: And Justice for Some is an eye opening look at the criminal justice system and how it treats rape victims. As former prosecutor and author Wendy Murphy relates, rape victims often receive little or no justice in America. In many cases, including for instance, in the Kobe Bryant case, the victim find... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Theater Tips and Strategies for Jury Trials from National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) Customer Review: This is an excellent resource for litigators, whether novices or 30 year veterans. GREAT material here!	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		In the Interest of Justice: Great Opening and Closing Arguments of the Last 100 Years from Harper Paperbacks Price: $12.60 Customer Review: This book was a good read for a dreary return flight from DC. It falls short of the promise of its title. That said, every opening and closing statement in this book contained a valuable lesson for trial attorneys, and each statement makes a compelling read. I give this book 3 stars because it... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		NALA's CLA/CP Study Guide and Mock Examination from Delmar Cengage Learning Price: $38.83 Customer Review: Book looks easy to study and will be of much help and prepare me for when I do go to take the actual exam.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Lawyers' Poker: 52 Lessons that Lawyers Can Learn from Card Players from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $13.57 Customer Review: I practiced law for 30 years, most of which I was a litigator. From that perspective, Professor Lubet's book is a wonderful metaphor for learning trial practice at its most essential level. These are complementary skills that teach practitioners of both poker-playing and lawyering about probability,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The Trial Lawyers: The Nation's Top Litigators Tell How They Win from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $16.15 Customer Review: This book is profoundly outdated. The practice of law involves nowadays a lot more of technology, a lot more of sophisticating approach of the cases and a lot more of sharks in the sea to fight with. A good (but not great) read, a pretty good insight at how lawyers used to think. I would... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The Little Book on Oral Argument from Fred B Rothman & Co Price: $11.95 Customer Review: A concise, effective book that provides all the basics for building a good oral argument. The advice is practical and presented in a succinct little book that can be read in one sitting. Although it lacks material on the academic aspects of oral argument, it is full of practical advice and great... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Trial Evidence (Coursebook) from Aspen Publishers Price: $65.70 Customer Review: Unlike every other tome on evidence that I've encountered, this one is organized to discuss the rules as they commonly arise during a trial. Succinct and clear as a bell. I wouldn't want this to be my first look at the rules of evidence, because they're not addressed in any... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The How-To-Win Trial Manual - 4th Edition from JurisNet, Inc. Price: $85.00 Customer Review: This book is easy to read, and packed with no-nonsense advice about how to try a case. Get it.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Modern Trial Advocacy: Analysis and Practice from National Institute for Trial Advocacy Customer Review: This book, in its third edition, is used very successfully by instructors in NITA's trial skills seminars and is known by almost anyone who has taken a NITA course. Whereas Mauet's book, Trial Techniques, teaches with an emphasis on examples, this book focuses more on explaining the reasons and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		CREATING DOMINANCE: WINNING STRATEGIES FOR LAW FIRMS from AuthorHouse Price: $11.24 Customer Review: I agree with the other early reviewers. There are many books on marketing law firms, strategy, etc. But Wesemann's book is compact, practical, and memorable. Ton of common sense, applied with savvy. Like any business strategy book ever written, some pages seem a little obvious (enter an emerging... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		MacCarthy on Cross Examination from American Bar Association Price: $81.87 Customer Review: I have worked as a trial attorney for over 12 years and this is an excellent book for both the novice and the experienced trial attorney. What makes the book valuable is that it delves into the subtle aspects of cross examination that impact a juries perception of witnesses. In addition it is not... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
