Don't Fail to Read This Book,
By
This review is from: Pretrial (Paperback)
This book is a perfect companion book to a trial advocacy textbook. The book takes the student/lawyer from the beginning of a case through the moment just before trial. There is a lot of material to cover and Mauet does so very effectively. As an aside, I am amazed by how clear his table of contents reads. The table does not just contain subject headings but is an excellent outline for anyone to refer to in their practice.Mauet provides not only a wonderful overview of all the things a lawyer needs to consider in litigating a case but also provides practical tips such as how to conduct discovery on a limited budget. If you are a young lawyer, Mauet answers questions you may be afraid to ask such as "How do I start the deposition?" Believe it or not, something so basic is not covered in law school, but Mauet provides the answers here.

It is a Keeper,

This review is from: Pretrial 7th Edition (Paperback)
This book has great examples of the documents that lawyers draft and use every day. Take time to use the CD. There are a couple practice cases.
