More about Trial Techniques and Trials, by far the most thorough and detailed of the books in the field, the Eleventh Edition 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.

Bundle includes Problems in Trial Advocacy,2023 Edition, the premier volume for realistic and accessible courtroom simulations. With problems based on real trials, both civil and criminal, this series of vignettes guides the reader through opening statements, direct and cross-examination of lay and expert witnesses, exhibit introduction, witness impeachment, and closing arguments. These hands-on exercises include a variety of electronic exhibits, providing practice for the contemporary courtroom experience. Problems in Trial Advocacy lets students practice their courtroom skills without memorizing a full case file of facts. Problems in Trial Advocacy is the advocacy standard, updated with modern challenges to advocacy skills.

Bundle also includes Dixon v. Providential Life Insurance Co.: Case File, Seventh Edition, State v. Burns: Case File, Seventh Edition, and Nita Fire v. Rubino: Case File, Second Edition.
