Explains how to prepare a case for trial by identifying historical factual propositions that satisfy applicable legal elements; identifying evidence and inferences tending to prove or disprove the crucial factual propositions in a case; organizing evidence into persuasive arguments, whether the evidence is disputed or undisputed or suggests an implausibility in a witness' story; and understanding the influence of "silent arguments" and taking advantage of or countering such arguments. Illustrates interrelationship among evidence, argument, and technique. Sets forth and illustrates trial techniques so advocates can persuasively communicate their arguments to judges and jurors.

West Academic Publishing

This resource helps refine and improve deposition skills, such as obtaining answers to critical questions; finding out everything deponents know about topics and events; undercutting harmful testimony that emerges at deposition; obtaining information from deponents who claim not to understand questions or who interpret questions in a hypertechnical way; exploiting deponents’ conflicting statements; dealing with opposing counsel’s objections; undermining adverse experts’ opinions; and preparing for deposition. The book also contains chapters on taking special depositions, including those of an adverse expert, a Rule 30 (b) (6) deponent, and a deposition to preserve the testimony of your own witness for trial.

Depositions in a Nutshell (Nutshells)

Light, Jason

Provides descriptions and illustrations of effective strategies and techniques for taking and defending depositions. Designed to serve as a text for a 2-4 unit stand-alone depositions course or as a supplement to a civil pre-trial lawyering course. Devotes separate chapters to such fundamental skills as obtaining helpful answers to critical questions, undercutting harmful testimony, obtaining a deponent's version of significant events, and obtaining information from evasive deponents. Other chapters include topics such as responding to inconsistent or implausible testimony, overcoming opposing counsel's objections and obstructionist tactics, and preparing a client to be deposed.

Deposition Questioning Strategies and Techniques (American Casebook Series)

Describes how facts are proved at trial, examining the principal categories of rational and psychological evidence, which is the basis of trial "stories." How, at trial, does each party tell a story bolstering its own legal position and detracting from that of its adversary? What attributes of stories tend to make them persuasive? From these attributes, the authors derive a set of investigatory objectives that generally apply, regardless of the nature of the case. With objectives in place, turns to the thought processes that lawyers employ to analyze and develop evidence.

New Republic Book Co

This Nutshell, which replaces Binder, Moore and Bergman's Deposition Questioning Strategies and Techniques (2001), provides comprehensive descriptions and concrete illustrations of effective strategies and techniques for taking and defending depositions. The book can serve as a text for a 2-4 unit stand-alone depositions course (either live client or simulated) or as a supplement to a civil pre-trial lawyering course. It devotes separate chapters to such fundamental skills as obtaining helpful answers to critical questions, undercutting harmful testimony, obtaining a deponent's version of significant events, and obtaining information from evasive deponents. Other chapters include topics such as responding to inconsistent or implausible testimony, overcoming opposing counsel's objections and obstructionist tactics, and preparing a client to be deposed.

This is the 4th edition of the paradigm-shifting text that created the concept of client-centered lawyering. The new edition explains and illustrates fact-gathering and decision-making strategies for civil litigators, criminal defense lawyers and transactional lawyers in the contexts of individual clients, first time and repeat “players,” joint clients, organizational clients, and clients whose cultural backgrounds differ from those of their lawyers. No matter the context, the new edition continues its predecessors’ commitment to a legal culture in which caring lawyers use their knowledge, experience and judgment to empower clients to make satisfactory decisions.

TREMBLAY, Paul

Legal Education

This is a powerful study of the growth of the right wing in a reunited Germany. Setting this in its historical context, and especially in the context of the end of the Cold War, the author examines the implosion of communism and of the growth of xenophobia and right-wing politics in modern and contemporary Europe. The backdrop of 20th century German history and of Germany’s position as the European regional super-power make this book an especially important and topical contribution.
