About Trial Advocacy
Advocates must develop a discipline and demonstrate that ours in not simply an unstructured art form depending upon hokum, gimmickry and trial ploys. To do so we must create standards by which we can analyze the component parts of an examination, a voir dire, a summation and express those standards by professional terminology. This book represents a beginning of this awesome task. Most of the recent offerings in the areas of advocacy have explored the more sophisticated aspects of our art. The have evolved, as one might suspect, to a more elevated and more complicated state. Good for the seasoned practitioner, not so good for the neophyte law student.
