i mean this is technically done for now, but I would be really interested in revisiting some of this material in the future when I have the time.

Trial Techniques is well divided into chapters on specific aspects of trial knowledge and skills. The book offered a strong foundation of case theory and case research, and the basics of developing a strong case. This includes how to influence juries, creating effective messages in opening and closing arguments using themes and labels, and how to present evidence in a concise and engaging manner. This book also includes strong trial vocabulary, definitions, and how/when to use them. My favorite part was the chapter on objections. The book explained objections very clearly, as well as when to use objections in trials. For example, if an object doesn't directly discredit the opponent's case or strengthen your own it is best to leave it be, to remain in good standing with the jury. Overall the book has a lot of great information, although it can be an absolute drag to read sometimes, which I would have to expect comes with the territory of any legal book.

Walks you through step by step in plain English how to conduct a trial and how to make a jury favor your side. Great practical use.

Had some good info, tips and tricks, etc. but definitely wasn’t the most engaging read for something that’s so interesting
