Trial Techniques Ninth Edition Aspen Coursebook Thomas A Mauet 9781454822332 Books Reviews

• I have a background in mock trial. My friend and mock trial partner has ZERO experience - she had never been in a courtroom. I managed to teach her all the basics of trial practice by lending her this book and spending one hour discussing the highlights. We ended up winning the school competition - within our law school, we were the best two trial advocates. She could not have made that kind of progress without this book.
  
  I first bought this for my trial practice class. I didn't read it all, because I have some experience. It was useful to refer to when I had a question or needed some advice. This book is definitely a practical guide, not an academic treatise. You can pick and choose which parts to read and which to follow. I did extremely well in both my trial practice class and the New England regional mock trial competition, and the ONLY supplemental reading or research I did was in this book.
• I had to buy this for my Trial Practice course. The class was a lot of fun, taught by a trial judge and appellate judge. They generally agreed with what was in this book but criticized the closing argument section and cross-examination section. There are a lot of examples inside which was very helpful in me writing my own opening, closing, etc. I'll probably keep it around if I ever litigate.
• I was a judge at a local high school mock trial event a couple of months ago. One of my fellow evaluators recommended this book to the faculty coaches from the various competing high schools to improve the performance of their teams. I purchased it to expand my knowledge in order to be a better evaluator for next year.
• This book is extremely helpful. I got it for a trial advocacy course in law school. However, it became increasingly helpful when I began trial work at the prosecutor's office I clerked for. The book spells out how to do an opening and closing statement, direct and cross examination, etc. It made it easy to transition into the courtroom as I prosecuted my own trials. Once I become a licensed attorney, I undoubtedly will keep the book as a reference.
• I've bought a lot of casebooks and other crap for my JD. This is probably the single most helpful text book I've ever had. Undergrad, professional, or JD.
• Some of the trial techniques are subjective opinions. But overall a great book
• Great book. I'm learning a lot. Many attorneys I know still use this book as the gold standard when preparing for trial.
• Great book. Some minor marks of use.
