This review is from: The How-To-Win Trial Manual - 4th Edition (Hardcover)
Judge Fine has to be given credit for writing an excellent book on how to effectively try a case. The substance of the book is a 5 but I rate it a 4 because the book has an unacceptable number of typograhpical and grammatical errors. These kinds of mistakes should not be in an Appellate Judge's book.
Judge Fine masterfully explains how to deliver an effective opening statement. He also makes the very important point that closing argument is all about giving the jurors that agree with your theory of the case the arguments that they need to pull the jurors that disagree with your theory of the case over to your side. The chapters on direct and cross-examination outline battle-tested techniques that are instrumental in conveying one's theory of the case to the jury. These chapters challenge the lawyer to ask questions in a way where the jury already knows the answer to the question before the witness has a chance to respond. This subtly and powerfully reinforces the advocate's theory of the case to the jury. The longer chapters on cross-examination could be written a little less "densely." Every trial lawyer should buy this wonderful book! J.C. |
