Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In their professional lives courtroom lawyers must do these two things well: speak persuasively and write persuasively. In this noteworthy book, two of the most noted legal writers of our day Justice Antonin Scalia and Bryan A. Garner systematically present every important idea about judicial persuasion in a fresh, entertaining way. Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges is a guide for novice and experienced litigators alike. It covers the essentials of sound legal reasoning, including how to develop the syllogism that underlies any argument. From there the authors explain the art of brief-writing, especially what to include and what to omit, so that you can induce the judge to focus closely on your arguments. Finally, they show what it takes to succeed in oral argument. The opinions of Justice Scalia are legendary for their sharp insights, biting wit, and memorable phrasing. The writings of Bryan A. Garner, editor in chief of Black s Law Dictionary®, are respected inside and outside legal circles for their practical guidance on the art of writing and advocacy. Together the Scalia-Garner team has produced a fresh, innovative approach to a timeless topic.

Rating:

- Great Primer
This book condenses an advocacy course down to it's most helpful points. It is a quick easy read and many of the points can be put to use right away. Other points are aimed towards improving one's advocacy over his lifetime. The book made good use of anecdotes and hypotheticals to illustrate more complicated points.

While the book is a little pricey for its size, it is definitely worth the money.

Rating:

- A Great Supreme Court Judge
I gave this book to my personal attorney. He can and is authorized to argue a case before the Supreme Court. Like me, he looks up to Antonin Scalia as great judge. What Judge Scalia says in the book is helpful to all new lawyers who will have to litigate cases. This book should be included in the curiculum for future lawyers.
