Anatomy of a Trial ─ A Handbook for Young Lawyers

Now, updated and revised, this time-tested resource is written for young trial lawyers eager to gain an appreciation of how to handle real problems encountered during jury trials. You'll gain insight into jury trials via two particular cases:• A criminal case involving highly complex subjects and law campaign finance, national politics, and Hollywood fundraising, and necessitates simplifying and storytelling for the jury. • A civil case illustrating the reality that most cases hinge on the credibility of witnesses, also showcasing the critical importance of experts in trials of a technical nature. This second edition also now includes an all-new third case, a non-jury civil trial! This helpful reference is a thorough exploration of trial techniques through the lens of actual cases and is an instructive must for any new trial lawyer.
