Making Your Record is one of those brutally honest pocket guidebooks you only wish were pressed into the hands of every graduating law student planning a career in trial law, as well as a few too many attorneys who seem to have forgotten the focal point of courtroom presentation.

From dress code to weeping witnesses to telephone settlements, Ms. Perez takes a no-nonsense, well-organized approach to the nuts and bolts of establishing an effective courtroom record. Attorney beware: Making Your Record will work for you only if you make it a systematic way of life, and the principles therein are all about making the courtroom a delay-free, efficient workplace.

This book is a must-have for any attorney who wants to be taken seriously in the "real" courtroom. In the case of the law student, your law school professor will not help but be impressed with the information gained from this book as you present your moot court presentation. Whoever chooses to take in the advice provided by this experienced author -- who obviously knows the nuts and bolts of what makes a real courtroom work -- will be thankful for this little book that one can easily put in their briefcase or purse. Making Your Record is a gold mine of wisdom. Judges, jurors, and, most importantly, clients will notice and thank you for your professionalism and your classy presentation in the courtroom. This is a vital book that should be on every lawyer's and/or law student's book list!
