Developing trial advocacy skills and implementing them is critical to all civil litigators. This publication demonstrates that trials are all about persuasion, not merely the mechanical application of trial technique.

The author includes full transcripts of his examinations and extensive critical commentary from a particularly challenging medical malpractice trial warts and all, and extracts from other criminal and civil trials, to demonstrate his approach.

Topics examined in the publication include:
- The psychology of persuasive trial advocacy
