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.
Comprehensive resource for a student, young attorney or anyone just getting started in civil practice. Provides a roadmap and numerous examples of how to conduct civil litigation from beginning to end.
Just needed a good reference book and this was it. To fight the banksters you need to know their vocabulary and their rules. Just remember, banksters and their scummy attorneys are just bullies who can not stand the questions of...Who, What, Where, When, How and Why when it comes to alleged foreclosure documents. Still living in my house for just taxes and insurance, thanks to greedy banksters.
I started my practice cold...very little experience, only one mentor, basically thrown to the wolves. I never really intended to do any trial work. But the best laid plans of mice and men.... So here I am, getting ready for a couple of trials, sallying forth bravely, and I don't think I'm doing too badly. I'm winning anyway. Now if I can just find clients that can pay...
I had to learn how to represent myself in court and this book taught me how to organize my work, how to do my legal research as well as how to construct some motions. I found this book very helpful.
I am a Degree Paralegal, Law Student, and a professional litigant. I have recommended this and his other books for everyone who is a layman or Pro Se. The latest edition is not important.
This is a good book for law students, not as good for attorneys b/c its brief and concise, all a law student needs but not what a lawyer needs.
This book has great advice on how to draft pleadings and motions, how to plan and execute a strategy concerning discovery, and even has advice on client intake.
