Publisher's Synopsis
"A mock trial may officially begin with opening statements, but experienced competitors know that the dialogue between counsel and the court beforehand can make or break their chances of prevailing. First published in 2000, Mock Trials has become the leading textbook used by students and coaches to prepare for mock trial competitions. Diagrams, charts and summaries, as well as sample fact scenarios, colloquies, and arguments, are used to explain complicated concepts simply in an easy-to-follow and interesting manner. This textbook is specifically designed for use by pre-law and law students but the legal and stylistic techniques it teaches remain applicable throughout lawyers' careers"--.
