The Litigators

Rating:
Summary: OK, but advocates should see Common Sense Rules of Advocacy
Review: If you want to be an effective advocate, Keith Evans has practical and contemporary cross exmamination techniques in his "Common Sense Rules of Advocacy for Lawyers," which is also a wonderful book for 3Ls and new lawyers who want to learn how to be effective advocates. However, Common Sense Rules of Advocacy is a book for advocates, NOT a book for litigators.
