What do My Cousin Vinny and Atticus Finch have in common? A lot more than you might think. While Atticus Finch’s closing argument in To Kill a Mockingbird continues to inspire viewers to attend law school, the cross-examinations in My Cousin Vinny—while hilariously funny—offers an equally compelling example of excellent trial advocacy.
With the aid of movie clips that are just a click away, this e-book Trial Advocacy Goes to the Movies explores advocacy from pretrial preparation through closing argument.
Inside this concise yet comprehensible eBook, which is includes movie clip gems that you can watch, you’ll learn:
• A methodology for writing the script for your trial performances from opening statement through closing argument
• How to effectively engage and deliver a message to an audience—the jury
• Trial advocacy strategies, techniques, and skills
• Whom to cast as witnesses to be called at trial
• How to be successful in trial by watching movies based on real trials
• The ethical and legal boundaries that trial lawyers should not cross
• How to impart your message to a jury with storytelling and visuals
• The concession-seeking cross-examination methodology
• And, so much more
Here are a couple reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
"This five-star read is an excellent resource for anyone interested in trial advocacy, whether they are seasoned lawyers or aspiring law students."
5.0 out of 5 stars "This book teaches trial strategies covering messaging, techniques for delivering narrative that has juries visualize, ethics, legal boundaries that can't be crossed, advocacy, engaging your jury, etc. The author incorporates film clips that exemplify the strategies he is discussing. The method was very effective and the statistics he provided backed up this methodology.
"I also think that the visuals used at the beginning of the book to layout basic human needs and values was clever because it makes sense and creates a foundational understanding of how to engage your jurors before then laying out different techniques. Excellent and well-written."
