Product Description
The only book-length treatment of its kind, this text is a comprehensive and reliable guide to the preparation and presentation of oral arguments before the Supreme Court and other appellate courts.

The author describes in detail the various ways to master the case record and key court decisions and organize your case. Also provided are timesaving checklists and model arguments. He shows you how to anticipate the types of questions commonly asked at oral argument and how to use moot court sessions to hone your presentation.

Topics covered include approaches to openings, transitions from difficult questions to affirmative points, hypothetical questions, closing the argument, maximizing rebuttal time and special techniques of successful appellate attorneys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done!, June 22, 2009
