This practical guide helps you develop winning courtroom techniques and strategies. From the opening address to the final argument, it provides:

  • authoritative solutions to potential legal and practical problems that may arise during trial
  • useful examples of how to elicit evidence and damage witness credibility
  • detailed instruction on how to conduct examinations-in-chief, cross-examinations and arguments
  • methods of successfully preparing witnesses for trial.

    This new edition features a number of new and reorganized chapters including new material on:

  • The selection and presentation of a credible - and winning - theory of a case
  • The selection, organization and use of documents at trial
  • Demonstrative evidence - admissibility, laying the proper foundation, distinguishing between demonstrative evidence and demonstrative aids and the admissibility of videotapes, computer reconstruction and models
  • Objections - when to object and when not to, timing and forms of objections
  • Plus a major new section specifically devoted to expert witnesses - including who qualifies and the trial court's "gatekeeper" function, the subject matter of expert testimony, retaining and preparing expert witnesses and direct and cross-examination of experts
