Trial Techniques, 7e 8 reviews
Thoms A. Mauet
Aspen Publishers, 2007
How to Stumble Through Your First Trial Without Embarrassing Yourself
This book is absolutely fantastic. It's almost like a "Trials for Dummies" book for young attorneys and law students. Mauet's writing is easy to read and his advice is easy to follow. He provides examples that really drive home his points. This book should be assigned reading for every trial advocacy class. It was not assigned for my class but an attorney recommeded it to me and I found it ...

Galileo's Lawyer: Courtroom Battles in Alternative Health, Complementary Medicine and Experimental Treatments 2 reviews
Richard A. Jaffe
Thumbs UP Press, 2008
An Advocate for Freedom of Medical Care Choices
Galileo's Lawyer is an eye-opening page turner that will shock all those who think we have freedom of choice in medical care for conditions for which standard medical treatments are inadequate at best. The power of our medical church-like establishment that exerts behind-the-scenes control over our options is largely invisible in most circumstances. If you think the FDA, and medical boards are on ...

Courtroom 302: A Year Behind the Scenes in an American Criminal Courthouse25 reviews
Steve Bogira
Vintage, 2006
A Fly on the Wall
Courtroom 302 was clearly written by a journalist. It reads like an in depth newspaper article--a good one. Bogira writes as a fly on the wall, following Judge Locallo around from case to case through the Chicago criminal justice system, observing the real world facts of murder, extortion, corruption, heartache, and betrayal, while also bringing in the big picture facts of a social scientist.

You Be the Jury: Courtroom III (You Be the Jury)3 reviews
Marvin Miller
Scholastic Paperbacks, 1992
challanging,interesting,worthwhile reading
Using this book to teach reading to 7-8th graders in a special education class. The students remain interested and get excited about reading these stories. The students are challanged, as well as feeling good about themselves because they have read a whole story and can still remember enough about it to make the final decision of guilty or innocent! Great Books!!!

Looker: A Novel 18 reviews
Stanley Bennett Clay
Atria, 2007
Looker....A tale of love amongst US
Stanley,
Thank you for "Looker." The characters were as real as the pages and
paper on which they were written. Your knowing and seeing of Black gay Men's lives made the book a page turner. The tapestry of lust, love, pain, joy, anger, betrayal, safe hatred, sardonic sex, rage, crime, and bliss wove a tale reminiscent of what "real" Black gay men know to be our truths. Never before have had I ...

Disorder in the Court: Great Fractured Moments in Courtroom History13 reviews
Charles M. Sevilla
W. W. Norton & Company, 1999
Goofy Things Said in Court
The book is a collection of things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down by court reporters. It must be tough to record some of these exchanges without laughing out loud. Fun reading for anyone, but if you have a friend who's a lawyer or a judge, it might be the perfect gift for them.
Here are some samples from the book:
ATTORNEY: What is your date of birth?
WITNESS: ...

Polarizing the Case: Exposing and Defeating the Malingering Myth4 reviews
Rick Friedman
Trial Guides, 2007
Indispensable Trial Guide
Polarizing the Case has proven to be an indispensable tool in preparation and conduct of jury trials. This book was written by an attorney in the trenches. It is not a philosophical or theoretical book on the author's view of trials; instead it is a practical tool that helps trial lawyers in every phase of the trial. It practically spoon feeds the reader with actual deposition and trial ...

Jeopardy in the Courtroom: A Scientific Analysis of Children's Testimony5 reviews
Stephen J. Ceci
American Psychological Association (APA), 1999
The most important book in my libarary
This is the most important non-legal book in my library. Anyone who needs to evaluate the credibility of a child's statement should read this book. Even-handed in its approach, it points out those factors most important to consider when assessing a child's accusations.

Eyes of a Child42 reviews
Richard North Patterson
Ballantine Books, 1995
Powerful eye-opener with realistic, flawed characters
I've recently become a big fan of Richard North Patterson's work. My favorite books of his are the ones involving Kerry Kilcannon. I feel Patterson is at his best when he combines politics with law. It is also when I feel his work is the most interesting and most compelling.
However, after reading Eyes of a Child, I've discovered that he also writes a pretty darn good legal thriller. Child ...

Death Penalty (Charley Sloan Courtroom Thrillers)8 reviews
William J. Coughlin
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2004
A Winner
This book is a gripping read, and does not insult a lawyer's intelligence. The central character, outside of his personal morals, is an admirable lawyer with whom one cannot help but empathize. And tho there are evil lawyers and judges portrayed, the book does not seek to demonize the profession, and at the end the lawyer hero does not go off to some tropical island so he won't have to practice ...

Excellent
It is nice to know that in one point in our society that there was somebody whocared about the little guy, the poor,the downridden, the underdog etc.,Clarence Darrow found a cause and stuckto it like a fly on poop. It takes guts to stand up against the establishmentand never apologize for it.We need more guys like him.

Shadow of a Doubt (Charley Sloan Courtroom Thrillers)7 reviews
William J. Coughlin
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2005
The best ever
I picked this book up in the early 90's when it was first published. I thought it remarkable then and now, re-reading it, even more so. It is scary to try a case, especially when the cards are stacked against you.
Charley Sloan beefed up his courage with alcohol, and the house of cards eventually came tumbling down.
Now he has a chance for redemption . . . . and those that hate him a ...

HarperAudio, 2007
Not the typical Scottline book
Not the typical Scottline. The herion, although strong, seems conflicted. This does not take away from the plot, which in Scottline fashion has many twists and turns. Can't figure out the reason for the title. Who picked it out? Anyway it's still worth reading.

the best reference book updated
Narayan of Rebeccasreads highly recommends REEL JUSTICE as a great companion for the courtroom movie buff.
"Every third Hollywood movie is bound to be a courtroom drama/ legal thriller." Not 100% true -- every third movie every produced is bound to be one. The fascination with law, lawyers & courtrooms is not restricted to Hollywood -- it also holds true for Bollywood (Hindi movies) & ...

A Must Have
This is an absolute must have! It has tons of examples and breaks down every single sentence of the code. Like my professor said, "you will fail evidence without this." 100% worth the money!
