About On The Jury Trial: Principles And Practices For
Product Description Two outstanding Texas trial lawyers—one now an equally respected district judge—have written On the Jury Trial, a “must have” reference for any trial lawyer aspiring to excellence or seeking to maintain it. Topics include voir dire, opening statement, preparing witnesses, cross examination, using exhibits, closing argument, jury research, and more, with excellent examples and “do’s and don’ts” provided throughout. Think of this book as the senior law partner’s memo to associates on how to really try a case. Looking for fly-on-the-wall insight into world-class trial preparation and strategy? Here it is. A behind-the-scenes tour of the inner workings of the judicial process? This book has you covered. Its combination of advice, illustration, and commentary is every bit as valuable as it is unique. Every litigator should have this book on the shelf, no matter the state in which they practice. Review “Real-world, real-life insights. A book that every lawyer should read.”— Michael E.

Here the wish is granted: this book allows every student to learn from two masters of the subject.”—Ward Farnsworth, Dean of the University of Texas School of Law “I have read scores of ‘how to’ books and articles on trial advocacy and this one tops the list.”—Dick Sayles, Sayles Werbner “On the Jury Trial will be highly valuable to young attorneys, precisely in part because its brevity makes it so attractive to read.
