McElhaney's Trial Notebook, Fourth Edition

I work at a larger prosecutor’s office, so I’m always looking for books regarding trial advocacy and prosecution. I really enjoyed it, and thought it had some great advice. I would highly recommend.

It was a help!

If you like to read stories and get small bits of advice this is great. But if you are looking for something substantial then this book is not for you. It's nice, but sometimes beginners need a little more visual stimulation and the stories here don't do it.

I am only about half way done reading this book but I absolutely love it! It has some of the best lawyering advice that I have read in any book. A few of the topics require a little practice to perfect (such as the cross-examination suggestions) but I would recommend this to any young attorney or law student.

A simple stories for good reading but will not prepare you for trial, similar to readers digest but only an attorney can love.

Fantastic book for any trial lawyer. Volumes of excellent tips, explanations, and clarifications regarding trial strategy, the rules of evidence, and many other valuable skills.

Excellent tool to have in the trial box

I can't believe I went as long without this book as I did. The articles are concise, readable (no legalese) and relevant to all areas of trial practice. I have dog-eared several pages already and am not even a third of the way through the book. Love it!
