Trial Techniques and Trials

"Trial Techniques and Trials, Ninth Edition, conveys an understanding of the strategies and thought processes that lawyers use in the courtroom to present evidence and make arguments persuasively. Clear writing and abundant examples by renowned author and litigator Tom Mauet explain and illustrate every step of the jury trial process. Still remarkably concise, the Ninth Edition combines the best from two of Mauet's most highly regarded texts, Trial Techniques and Trials. He took the best from each book, and the new combined text expands its coverage of trials with new chapters on jury selection, opening statements, closing arguments, and direct and cross examinations. It also sports an updated look and offers additional online resources for teaching - including an edited video of a jury trial"--Summary from book cover.
