The Seventh Edition of Essential Lawyering Skills: Interviewing, Counseling, Negotiation, and Persuasive Fact Analysis continues to emphasize the role of the attorney in the lawyer-client relationship. Widely respected by practitioners and teachers, the authors’ introductions, visual aids, and realistic examples illuminate the basic mechanics of these key skills. Case situations and problem-solving scenarios engage students in developing essential lawyering skills that mirror legal practice. The topic of professional responsibility is integrated throughout.

Professors and students will benefit from:
 
• An emphasis on practice and the mechanics of negotiation and persuasion, rather than on theory.
• Complete coverage of problem solving, interviewing, counseling, negotiation, and fact analysis.
• Remarkably clear and penetrating discussion of the persuasive value of facts, supported by useful visual aids.
• Generous use of interesting examples that place topics in context.
• Integrated coverage of professional responsibility where appropriate.
• Experienced authors, who draw upon many years of teaching and writing about lawyering skills.

Highlights of the new to the Seventh Edition:
 
• New subsection on professional use of Legal Technology, and in particular, Generative AI, in practice.
• Recent research on communication modes in negotiation, including a new subsection on videoconferencing.
• New subsection on the Career Satisfaction of Making a Difference.
• Coverage of  professional identity formation in Chapter 29.

About the authors
Stefan H. Krieger
Professor of Law
Hofstra University

Professor Krieger specializes in the areas of housing and community development. Professor Krieger and his students in the Law Reform Advocacy Clinic have represented numerous tenants and community groups in attempts to improve low-income housing and protect the rights of immigrants in Nassau County. In 2004, Professor Krieger and Clinic students won a landmark victory in the New York Court of Appeals protecting the rights of tenants to proper notice before eviction. In 2008, representing a tenant's advocacy group, the Clinic won a significant victory in the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, invalidating high rent guidelines for approximately 12,000 tenants in Nassau County. Recently, the Clinic successfully settled a federal discrimination case against the Village of Farmingdale which challenged a redevelopment plan which displaced scores of low-income, immigrant families. Under the settlement, the Village has agreed to use best efforts to actively recruit developers to replace the low-income housing destroyed by the redevelopment. Professor Krieger's scholarly interests are in the areas of litigation strategy and legal education. He has published numerous articles on legal reasoning and pedagogy.
