Best-selling author Thomas A. Mauet--renowned for his skills as a writer and litigator--breaks the trial process down into its critical components for better and quicker student comprehension. His clear, engaging writing features excellent examples that illustrate strategies for opening statements, jury selection, direct- and cross-examination, exhibits, objections, and more. The Federal Rules of Evidence are given in the appendix for easy reference.

The Ninth Edition combines the most effective chapters from Trial Techniques (trial process, the psychology of persuasion, trial preparation and strategy, bench trials) with those from Trials (jury selection, opening statements and closing arguments, direct and cross-examinations).An updated, modern design follows a revised, thoughtful organization. Examples in the Ninth Edition reflect the three principal types of trials: tort, criminal, and commercial. A flexible new approach allows students to either read all the examples or, if they prefer, focus on the plaintiff's and defendant's side of a particular kind of case. Online access has been provided to an edited video of a jury trial, formerly only available to users of Trials.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for students, mock trial, and new practicioners.
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2015
Verified Purchase
I have a background in mock trial. My friend and mock trial partner has ZERO experience - she had never been in a courtroom. I managed to teach her all the basics of trial practice by lending her this book and spending one hour discussing the highlights. We ended up winning the school competition - within our law school, we were the best two trial advocates. She could not have made that kind of progress without this book.

I first bought this for my trial practice class. I didn't read it all, because I have some experience. It was useful to refer to when I had a question or needed some advice. This book is definitely a practical guide, not an academic treatise. You can pick and choose which parts to read and which to follow. I did extremely well in both my trial practice class and the New England regional mock trial competition, and the ONLY supplemental reading or research I did was in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for trial advocacy / mock trial
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016
Verified Purchase
This book was extremely helpful for my trial advocacy course. I actually bought this book as more of a supplement (even though it's a regular textbook) b/c the textbook assigned for my course wasn't that great. This book provides a lot more detail of the trial process and the role of the litigator -- criminal prosecution/defense and civil plaintiff/defense. This book also comes with online supplemental info and sample forms/templates from the manufacturer that you can access online via a special access code. I'd definitely recommend this book to any law students taking trial advocacy or mock trial.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for class but maybe not for practice
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is one of the better books I've read about trial advocacy. It is definitely for beginners though! It gives you tips on opening statements, jury selection, direct- and cross-examination, exhibits, and objections, but only at the most basic level. This book is best used in a trial advocacy of moot court setting where you have experienced practitioners giving you additional tips and guidance. The package also includes a video of a jury trial, but I personally didn't find that particularly helpful. I used it for a class, but I don't think it's something I need to keep around for when I practice. There are better books for that!

I was a judge at a local high school mock trial event a couple of months ago. One of my fellow evaluators recommended this book to the faculty coaches from the various competing high schools to improve the performance of their teams. I purchased it to expand my knowledge in order to be a better evaluator for next year.

This book is extremely helpful. I got it for a trial advocacy course in law school. However, it became increasingly helpful when I began trial work at the prosecutor's office I clerked for. The book spells out how to do an opening and closing statement, direct and cross examination, etc. It made it easy to transition into the courtroom as I prosecuted my own trials. Once I become a licensed attorney, I undoubtedly will keep the book as a reference.
