Description:
Unlike any other book for trial lawyers, this portable mentor provides practical advice well beyond what typical books for trial lawyers offer. Subjects include how to deal with clients and everyone else in a trial lawyer's professional life; how to draft everything from emails to settlement agreements, including pleadings, motions, and briefs; all aspects of discovery, including ESI; how to negotiate, mediate, and arbitrate; oral argument; trials; ethics; persuasion; marketing; coping with stress; and essentials for success. Easy-to-use checklists end each chapter, and a comprehensive index provides pin-point guidance.
