This classic handbook, published by the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, gives practitioners a detailed road map for conducting a trial. The experienced authors explain how to present a case as a story - and powerfully and persuasively tell that story to the jury.

Persuasive Trial Advocacy is a unique look at the psychological principles of persuasion and the effective communication needed to strategize every aspect of the trial process. The author includes full transcripts of his examinations and extensive critical commentary from a particularly challenging medical malpractice trial, and extracts from other criminal and civil trials, to demonstrate his approach.
