Description

Trial Practice 2nd Edition Michael Martin ISBN 9780769855332

In this second edition of Trial Practice, one of the earliest and most respected trial advocacy texts, the authors present a comprehensive and updated guide to successfully trying a case before either a jury or a judge. Covering every stage from trial strategy to courtroom execution, the book builds on the proven structure of the first edition while offering extensive new insights. Co-authors Lawrence A. Dubin and Thomas F. Guernsey, joined by Professors Michael W. Martin and Paul Radvany, provide detailed guidance supported by numerous practical examples.

Professors Martin and Radvany bring to the text their extensive experience teaching trial advocacy and representing both the government and private parties in criminal and civil trials. Their backgrounds include practice in federal and state courts, commercial arbitration, and appellate advocacy. This edition reflects that breadth of experience, translating real-world trial practice into accessible instruction for law students and practicing attorneys alike. The book serves both as a strong foundation for students learning trial skills and as a practical reference for experienced litigators.

In addition to in-depth chapters on individual trial skills and evidentiary issues, the book includes:

• A full chapter devoted to case theory and storytelling

• Key concepts for quick review at the start of each chapter

• Practical checklists for each trial skill to reinforce essential points

• A concluding chapter on the keys to success for trial attorneys

Together, these features make Trial Practice a comprehensive and practical guide to effective courtroom advocacy.
