Customer Reviews

Trial insights presented with humor

Mr. Miller has compiled tales from the courthouse in a witty, insightful style. As other reviewers have noted this is not a trial manual; nonetheless, it provides innumerable insights into trial lawyering skills and would be an addition to any inspiring trial attorney's library. Kevin P. Sheerin

Brevity is the soul of wit

I assume the readers who didn't like this book were looking for a step-by-step, How To Win All Your Trials kind of manual. It's not that. It is a very thoughtful, very funny guide to common mistakes lawyers make in the courtroom, ways to address weaknesses in your case, and how not to make an ass of yourself in front of the jury. Get McElhaney's and Mauet for blueprints, get this one for practical pointers that won't put you to sleep.
