 Required but not very helpful January 28, 2008

The book is required for my Litigation class but so far the readings seem like common sense. However, I think it could be useful to someone who hasn't had much exposure to court or the legal system as a whole.
 Very Witty and Wise Advice October 15, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book contains a wide variety of articles that were written by James McElhaney for the American Bar Association's Litigation journal over the years. He dispenses a tremendous amount of wisdom collected from his own experience and that of other lawyers.
McElhaney covers almost every conceivable subject for the trial lawyer. What I particularly enjoyed is that there are ninety chapters that are easily accessible because they are usually only six or seven pages long. For instance, he has an enlightening chapter on trial practice that every lawyer must read. He covers the following: how to keep the client happy, getting rid of cases you have that have turned out "to be dogs," how to get along with judges, trying to settle cases, and deciding when it is time to leave your firm. In short, this book is filled with superb tips, anecdotes, and many war stories that make the pages turn very quickly.

I bought this book some time ago and refer to it often when preparing for trial, or otherwise when time permits. Having been a criminal trial lawyer for over 18 years, this book still teaches me things that I either didn't know, or that I learned and had forgotten. It is easy to read and very helpful.

Pro - The book offers a ton of practical experience on how to put together a trial step by step and also advice on pretrial discovery.
Con - The book does not go in depth explaining the evidence rules and how each hearsay exception applies or doesn't.
Overally - one of the more easily comprehensible trial prep books for a newly admitted attorney.

Classic McElhaney -- wisdom and wit together. The best at giving smart, efficient and practical advise. i already had McElhany's Litigation -- which i review before every trial. i have recommended him to my best friends who do trials. This is more of the same.
