Review:

Treasure this book, because we all know it s a rare thing for wizards to reveal how they cast their spells.
- Scott Turow, author and attorney --Scott Turow

Having been in a courtroom with many of the contributors to Your Witness, I can assure readers that it would be wise to pay careful attention to what they have to say.
- Justice John Paul Stevens, Supreme Court of the United States --Justice John Paul Stevens

After reading The Art of Cross Examination by Francis Wellman, I was moved to enroll in law school. After reading Molo and Figliulo's, Your Witness, I want to become a lawyer all over again. Culled from the experiences of great trial lawyers, this is the new standard for the art of cross-examination. It's a fascinating journey into the inside world of the trial lawyer.
- Bill Kurtis, Lawyer and Documentary Producer, American Justice --Bill Kurtis
