Book Reviews of Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges

Book Review: A Witty and Very Insightful Book on Legal Persuasion
Summary: 5 Stars

What many trial lawyers forget is that in order to win at trial, you have to not only persuade a jury, but the trial judge and appellate court. This book should be on the book shelf of every trial lawyer. Written by the undisputed expert in the field of legal writing (Bryan Garner)and one of the most famous Supreme Court Justices, the reader is treated to wonderful insights about how to persuade judges.

Are you a lawyer looking for a way to write a more concise, logical and persuasive brief? Are you looking for a better way to argue your points at a hearing? Wouldn't you like to know what judges are looking for when they read your brief and listen to you in court? Of course. This book is authorative, fascinating, insightful and easy to read.
