Description

Construction Trial Deskbook Anthony D Lehman ISBN 9781641058834

Although few construction cases reach trial, some inevitably do—and they present challenges unlike those in other commercial disputes. Construction litigation is often document-heavy and revolves around complex technical issues that are unfamiliar to laypersons. Successfully presenting a construction case to a jury or other fact-finder requires a unique blend of skills, from effective storytelling to a thorough command of procedural and evidentiary rules, along with the strategic use of graphics, exhibits, and other tools designed to maximize persuasive impact.

This trial practice handbook is written by experienced construction lawyers with decades of combined trial experience, and it focuses exclusively on construction cases. The book is organized to follow the typical progression of a trial. It opens with a chapter on the Art of Persuasion, authored by a nationally recognized trial practice professor, highlighting the central role of storytelling in trial preparation. Subsequent chapters cover the key stages of trial, including jury selection, opening statements, direct and cross-examination, handling experts and exhibits, jury instructions, and closing arguments. Additional chapters address pre-trial evidentiary motions, judgment enforcement, and strategies for preserving the record on appeal.
