The classic advocacy guide for trial lawyers,
Common Sense Rules of Advocacy for Lawyers has
been hailed by attorneys, mediators and professors
nationwide. It's the practical advocacy guide designed
for anyone who must persuade others, including
attorneys, lobbyists, negotiators, account executives,
law students, sales professionals, and
parents.
"Reading this book would profit any advocate
of any experience level. Judicious application of the
advice contained in the book will make anyone a better
advocate."
-- George R. (Bob) Dekle, Legal Skills
Professor, University of Florida, Retired Assistant
State Attorney, Third Judicial Circuit of Florida
(successfully prosecuted Ted Bundy)
"Keith Evans, the
author of Common Sense Rules of Advocacy for Lawyers, is
an experienced trial lawyer. He has studied the game
from the inside and he has seen things others have
missed. He has distilled his experience and offers it up
in the brisk aphoristic style that brought him his
success in the courtroom. The book is a valuable review
for the old timers and an excellent primer for those who
are starting the climb."
-- Jacob A. Stein, Stein,
Mitchell & Mezines, Washington, DC
"This is a
terrific guidebook that should be followed by all young
trial lawyers. While it is true that these rules are
based upon common sense and that most seasoned trial
lawyers will figure them out over time, this book will
allow young advocates to benefit from all the painful
lessons learned by inexperienced lawyers before
them."
-- Philip H. Corboy, Corboy & Demetrio,
Chicago, IL
"Down to earth advice for the advocate.
Keith Evans' book provides important, down-to-earth
advice and guidance for both the novice and experienced
advocate. Having adjudicated many, many cases, I wish
every advocate would review these practical rules for
effective advocacy. All advocates will benefit from this
helpful book."
-- Jay Grenig, Arbitrator
"Common
Sense Rules of Advocacy for Lawyers is a superb how-to
book for the trial lawyer. The author, Keith Evans,
walks the reader through the essentials of effective
trial advocacy, teaching every step of the way while at
the same time never sounding the slightest bit like a
lecturer. The scope of the book -- everything from what
to wear in the courtroom to writing a trial brief -- is
truly impressive, yet the author maintains a tone that
is refreshingly readable. The author never loses sight
of the underlying rules of evidence, procedure, and
ethics, but his real genius is translating those rules
into -- as the title says -- common sense rules of
advocacy. I wish I had had this book when I was a young
lawyer. I highly recommend it."
-- Karl Tegland,
author, "Courtroom Handbook on Washington
Evidence"
"Advocacy is an art as well as a skill, and
Keith Evans presents the rules of mastering that art in
a very down to earth manner. Filled with humor and
eminently readable, his book is a great introduction for
the new lawyer and a wonderful learning tool for the
advocate with experience."
-- Sherman L. Cohn,
Professor, Georgetown University Law Center (first
national President of American Inns of Court)
"Even
the most experienced trial lawyer can pick up some new
techniques here. I will heartily recommend it to my
Trial Advocacy students."
-- Frederick C. Moss,
Professor, Dedman School of Law, Southern Methodist
University
