Customer Reviews

Beautiful Insight

As a law student, I found this book extremely helpful. It has briefs about the work of America's finest lawyers in civil, criminal, and tort law. It is truly amazing. "The Nation's Top Litigators Tell How They Win" and surely they do. Legal textbooks are stuffy, inhuman, and relate little to practicing real law. Books like these are what prepare you for practicing law in the real world.

Excellent

After reading Emily Couric's hugely interesting book I now realise that a good lawyer is worth his or her weight in gold. The secrets of the top legal eagles are laid bare; an LA attorney candidly admits that "flirting ouragously with the judge by batting eyelashes and wearing short skirts" has served him well in the California courts, while a New York litigator fascinatingly reveals his strategy when he represented the man fired for masturbating in his office and won him $2.1M after a jury found his employers liable for failing to protect him from sexually harrassing himself.
