Overview

"The rough and tumble of examinations -- direct, cross, redirect -- is the heart of this handbook, which offers up a wealth of practical techniques and advice for the novice litigator. For more experienced counsel, it can offer alternatives to practices developed over years. Maintaining a plainspoken style throughout, Examinations in Civil Trials presents a sophisticated and comprehensive approach to conducting examinations in court, and before administrative tribunals. Nearly every section wraps up with a case study -- a fact situation drawn from the courtroom that sets up an exercise -- and a ""solution"" clearly showing how an advocate might tackle the exercise with aplomb."

Examination in Civil Trials is excellent. I am so happy to have it. I actually keep it in my trial binder and use it as I'm preparing my outlines. I have been preparing questions using the Five-in-Five-out formula all day. The book is a must-have for any junior lawyers that are preparing for their first hearing. It's informative and to the point. --Megan Murphy, litigation lawyer
