An Excellent Collection of Trial Skill Problems

This book has a wonderful collection of trial skill problems for teachers's of trial advocacy and mock trials. What I like best about the book is that the authors have done a wonderful job of limiting the facts a student needs to understand in order to work on a particular trial technique. For example, in voir dire, the authors provide one page of facts about an automobile negligence case. From that set of facts, students are then asked to practice jury selection based on those facts. By boiling the facts down to just one page instead of a typical case file which could be 70 pages, the authors give the students the opportunity to focus on the technique of jury selection instead of wasting time sifting through a case file. This book is a classic among trial advocacy teachers that provides problems for students regarding every trial skill. Be aware that the book is not intended to teach trial techniques or provide answers to the problems it gives. It is more like a workbook that supplements a trial advocacy textbook.

Excellent service

He responded back to my questions on-time, and got the item to me in a prompt manner. The book was exactly as described. Great service all around.

LAW CLERK

IT IS AN EXCCELENT BOOK FOR THE TRIAL ADVOCACY COURSE. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK NOT ONLY FOR THE LAW STUDENTS BUT ALSO FOR THE PARCTICIONERS, WHO MAY FIND IT VERY HELPFUL FOR A TRIAL PREPORATION.
