Description

The Litigation Manual: Jury Trials Weyman I Lundquist ISBN 9781590318034

The jury—the ultimate arbiter of justice—is often the truest measure of a lawyer’s effectiveness. There is no single formula for winning cases; some lawyers prevail more often than others, and experience—both one’s own and that of seasoned colleagues—makes a critical difference.

Long praised for its engaging style and practical, hands-on guidance, The Litigation Manual continues that tradition in this edition devoted entirely to jury trials. Drawing on the most insightful articles from Litigation journal, this volume walks readers step by step through the jury trial process. For lawyers who never try jury cases, the book offers an illuminating look into how cases are tried, decisions are made, and justice is ultimately delivered in American courts. For those who try jury cases only occasionally, it provides the benefit of decades of collective courtroom experience. And for veteran trial lawyers, it reinforces proven skills, challenges ingrained habits, and offers fresh perspectives and lessons.

Topics covered include:

  • The future of jury trials

  • Deciding whether to seek a jury trial

  • Understanding today’s jurors

  • Jury selection strategies

  • Jury instructions

  • Persuasion and juror engagement

  • Storytelling in jury trials

  • Courtroom techniques for trying a jury case

  • Opening statements

  • Witness preparation and examination

  • Managing complex cases

  • Closing arguments

  • Post-trial considerations

Featuring practical, time-tested techniques alongside innovative ideas from some of the nation’s most respected trial lawyers and judges, this book also showcases exceptional legal writing that is clear, approachable, and engaging. It is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to prepare for and conduct jury trials more effectively.
