Anatomy of a Trial: A Handbook for Young Lawyers Paul Mark Sandler2011, Paperback, 409 pages, 6x9

Anatomy of a Trial is an essential guide that examines the key phases of jury trials—voir dire, opening statements, direct and cross-examination, and closing arguments—in the context of two particular cases, one criminal and the other civil. The criminal case involves highly complex subjects and law, and is a matter of simplification and storytelling for the jury. The civil case illustrates that most cases hinge on the credibility of witnesses, and also showcases the critical importance of experts in trials of a technical nature. The assessment of these criminal and civil cases highlights their differences, and illustrates where the well-developed principles of rhetoric are fundamental to success at trial, no matter the nature of the litigation.

Lincoln’s Counsel: Lessons from America’s Most Persuasive SpeakerArthur L. Rizer III2010, Hardcover, 264 pages, 6x9

Before Abraham Lincoln was called “Mr. President,” he was called “counselor” and “esquire.” Some consider him to be one of the nation’s greatest attorneys and, at the very least, an enormously persuasive speaker. He spent more years practicing law than any other president, and his years in the legal profession were essential to his eventual election to the presidency. Through examples from Lincoln’s great speeches and closing arguments, this book instructs you in the art of persuasion in two simple ways: by providing lessons from Lincoln’s career as a lawyer and politician, and then by analyzing those lessons and discussing how to apply them to your own life.


Civil War Lawyers: Constitutional Questions, Courtroom Dramas, and the Men Behind Them Arthur T. Downey2010, Hardcover, 454 pages, 6x9

Civil War Lawyers is a comprehensive and fascinating look at the underappreciated role of the law—and of lawyers—during the United States’ Civil War. Great Constitutional issues were addressed by the Supreme Court in tense courtrooms where individual lives were at stake. Presidents struggled with the legality of their actions, including questions on habeas corpus and military commissions that still have vital relevance today. Lawyers dominated public and political life during the first third of American history, and many of the lawyers prominent during the Civil War period were not only aware of each other professionally, but they had also tried cases with and against each other before the war.
