Review

"Finally, a trial skills book that will please both the instructor and the student. It tells the student not only how to do it, but why.... Lubet's book has the hallmark of being written by a trial lawyer and teacher who has thought deeply about what litigators do right when they are effective, and what they do wrong when they are ineffective. The book is studded with insights, suggestions and remedies that are unique among the many trial skills books." -- Fred C. Moss, Southern Methodist University School of Law

"Modern Trial Advocacy is not just a cookbook of legal skills--it gives examples of why a lawyer should be something versus mimicking a formula to copy.... This book will become a standard in the field of trial advocacy. It's most thoughtful, concise, and theoretically correct book to be published." -- Morgan Cloud, Emory University School of Law

"Not only do I require this book in every trial practice class I teach, but I also recommend it to practicing attorneys whenever they ask me what trial practice text they should buy. This is a must for any trial lawyer's library." -- Barbara Bergman, Professor of Law, University of New Mexico School of Law

"Steven Lubet's book is, quite simply, the best introductory trial advocacy text I've seen." -- Carol Anderson, ATLA's 1994 Richard S. Jacobson Award for Excellence in Teaching Trial Advocacy, Wake Forest University

"This outstanding trial advocacy text presents a realistic and contemporary approach for learning and developing trial advocacy skills." -- James H. Seckinger, Notre Dame Law School
