The First Trial: Where Do I Sit? What Do I Say? in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)

Rating:
Summary: Good for law students- who should also see Keith Evans' book
Review: Goldberg's nutshell is good, but Keith Evans' book, Common Sense Rules of Advocacy for Lawyers, is for the law student and new attorney who wants to learn how to be an excellent advocate.

Keith Evans practiced as a trial lawyer in California and as a barrister in England. In addition to law school teaching, Mr. Evans also made numerous presentations to different American Inns of Court.

Evans book is now published by TheCapitol.Net, and more information about this classic of trial advocacy can be found on their web site: thecapitol.net

If you want to be an excellent advocate, your best bet is to buy Goldberg's nutshell and also the Common Sense Rules of Advocacy for Lawyers by Keith Evans.

Summary: Non Factual
Review: The First Trail is a very good book. The only fault is it does not belong in the Nut Shell Series. There are no case examples. It makes you think of how it would be if you didn't think of that before trial and is full of merit towards thinking outside the lawyer. You just never know if it works or not. It's self centered on the first trial of the lay person, Where Do I Sit? It would make a better audio book/ non-fiction, not a Law ref.
