Publisher's Synopsis
After twenty years of experience at the English Bar, watching the same mistakes being made again and again, the author, who is qualified and practises in California as well as London, has written what he insists is an advocacy manual for the beginner; a book about the nuts and bolts of advocacy; a "bag of tools" to get the new arrival started.;Written with the principal aim of instructing the newcomer to the Engish Bar, but with frequent references to American and Commonwealth procedures, this book not only teaches, but reveals as well the ground rules of persuasion which operate throughout modern society.
