Materials in Trial Advocacy: Problems & Cases

Mauet and Wolfson's popular problems book is the perfect accompaniment to any trial practice text. With a unique three — level organization new to this edition, MATERIALS IN TRIAL ADVOCACY illustrates and demonstrates the elements of courtroom success.

The authors divide trial techniques into three main levels:

At the introductory level, discrete, or single — witness, problems demonstrate the essentials.

Next, students get acquainted with the process of developing trial strategy and theory. This intermediate level is new to this edition.
