Publisher's Summary

Two outstanding Texas trial lawyers - one now an equally respected district judge - have written On the Jury Trial, a “must-have” reference for any trial lawyer aspiring to excellence or seeking to maintain it. Topics include voir dire, opening statement, preparing witnesses, cross examination, using exhibits, closing argument, jury research, and more, with excellent examples and “dos and don’ts” provided throughout. Think of this audiobook as the senior law partner’s memo to associates on how to really try a case.

Looking for fly-on-the-wall insight into world-class trial preparation and strategy? Here it is. A behind-the-scenes tour of the inner workings of the judicial process? This audiobook has you covered. Its combination of advice, illustration, and commentary is every bit as valuable as it is unique. Every litigator should have this audiobook downloaded, no matter the state in which they practice.

Grating narration

I found the narration on this one almost unlistenable. The voice was so grating I had to stop about halfway. The content was mixed in value. It started well, but then went downhill after a few chapters. Some of the content painfully labours a basic point with endless examples while other parts don't give any examples at all. All up, I think it's one for a quick scan on the bookshop shelf, definitely not for audio book format.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
