About the Book
The jury, the scorekeeper of justice, is the best judge of how good a lawyer is. There is no formula to explain winning; some lawyers win more than others. Experience helps -- your own and that of others.
The Litigation Manual has been valued as much for its refreshing style as its practical, how-to approach. This addition of The Litigation Manual library focuses on jury trials. The book includes the most useful articles from Litigation journal, taking you through the steps of a jury trial. For those who do not try any jury cases the information will be enlightening. In reading them you will better understand the processes by which cases are tried, decisions made and justice arrived at in American courts.
