AI isn’t coming for the legal profession—it’s already reshaping it. While some people debate the ethics, attorneys are experimenting and clients are asking questions you can’t afford to dodge. AI for Litigators: Practical Tools to Transform Your Practiceteaches you what to do when it shows up in your courtroom, your evidence file, your intake queue, and your P&L. Written by a former public defender and criminal defense attorney who has cross-examined the experts, picked the juries, and litigated the motions, AI for Litigators is the only practitioner book that takes you from prompt engineering through custom GPT-building to evidentiary challenges to sanctions avoidance to firm operations—all in one volume, with every technique verified in practice.

By far the most thorough and detailed of the books in the field, Trial Techniques and Trials is a comprehensive yet concise handbook that covers all aspects of the trial process and provides excellent examples illustrating strategies for opening statements, jury selection, direct- and cross-examination, exhibits, objections, and more. Extensive examples are clustered into three groups: personal injury, commercial, and criminal for ease in finding particular areas of trial practice. Tom Mauet and Steve Easton, renowned for their skills both as writers and trial attorneys, break the trial process down into its critical components for better and quicker comprehension by students and practicing attorneys who have little or no trial experience.
