Book Description
"So you want to be a trial lawyer. By reading this manual you have chosen not to fail. By choosing not to fail, you are seeing yourself as a trial lawyer. You have resolved to stand up for those whose light shines dim and whose voice is heard small. It is now time to get your head in the game. The ultimate goal in any trial is to win. You win by telling your client's story in such a way that it compels the jury to see and understand it and believe in it the same way you do. You accomplish that by establishing your credibility with the jury -- by loving your client, telling the truth and being real"--

Book Description
This book applies to young lawyers starting out in practice (and others). The principles in this book reflect the author's experiences over 38 years (being admitted to practice in three jurisdictions) in a transactional and litigation practice on multiple continents. This book is applicable to young business lawyers. The book is lawyer-specific with an emphasis on a U.S. transactional or litigation practice. However, the general principles described have universal application to any lawyer anywhere that is starting-out in practice, any young person considering a career in the law or starting out in his or her career, or any person anywhere looking to get to the next level. The book introduces the reader to a number of personalities from the world of professional sports that have in all cases achieved stunning successes in their careers and each represents the triumph of the human spirit. Their experiences are highlighted from time to time and are significant and very relevant to the reader and the book. The fundamental premise of the book is that there is no sense in trying to learn all the lessons of life the hard way - from one's own personal experience. It is much more efficient to learn from the experience of others who have been successful in competitive situations. The author places much importance on some of the experiences of the wonderful personalities that are conveyed to the reader in the book. Their experiences include competing and winning and losing at the highest levels in professional sports, among other facets, and complement substantially all the principles and objectives of this book. The author believes these experiences will enrich the reader's journey as it progresses in the book and will add much value to the development of the reader's practice. The author believes that the work the reader puts into achieving the objectives of this book will be hugely beneficial to the reader over the long-term. The book will describe to the reader the principles that it needs to focus on to reach the next level in his or her career and will provide the necessary guidance. By the end of the book, the reader will find that each of these principles will be self-fulfilling and reinforce each other and provide the reader with a solid foundation for future success.

Book Description
As defender of both the righteous and the questionable, Alan Dershowitz has become perhaps the most famous and outspoken attorney in the land. Whether or not they agree with his legal tactics, most people would agree that he possesses a powerful and profound sense of justice. In this meditation on his profession, Dershowitz writes about life, law, and the opportunities that young lawyers have to do good and do well at the same time. We live in an age of growing dissatisfaction with law as a career, which ironically comes at a time of unprecedented wealth for many lawyers. Dershowitz addresses this paradox, as well as the uncomfortable reality of working hard for clients who are often without many redeeming qualities. He writes about the lure of money, fame, and power, as well as about the seduction of success. In the process, he conveys some of the ''tricks of the trade'' that have helped him win cases and become successful at the art and practice of ''lawyering.''
