As always, McElhaney gives the reader insightful, valuable practice pointers through storytelling. Each vignette gives the reader practicle advice for trial practice that aren't easily forgotten. This is a great book for law students and practicing attorneys alike (and is a very easy, fun read).
Anyone wanting to study the art of litigation, what it takes, what you must know (and avoid) needs to read this book.
Also bought his Trial Notebook which also contains the same short stories. Helped me when I first finished law school learn how to introduce evidence at trial.Jason Witt
A great accelerator to a legal career.Good book for every lawyer to read. I recommend it.Easy reading as well.
Outstanding resource! I started reading this book as soon as it arrived and I was very pleased with my purchase. This is a great resource for my law practice. I highly recommend this for litigators.
