N2  - "Anatomy of a Trial is a primer for young lawyers on how to handle real problems encountered during jury trials. The key phases of jury trials - voir dire, opening statements, direct and cross-examination, and closing arguments - are examined in the light of two particular cases, one criminal and the other civil. The criminal case involves highly complex subjects and law and necessitates simplifying and storytelling for the jury. The civil case illustrates that cases can hinge on the credibility of witnesses, and also showcases the critical importance of experts in trials of a technical nature. This second edition also includes an all-new third case, a non-jury civil trial. With complete opening and closing statements, many actual transcripts from the trials, helpful explanations of the tactics used in the courtroom, and commentary from five judges on what the lawyers did right and wrong, Anatomy of a Trial is a thorough exploration of trial techniques through the lens of actual cases"--Unedited summary from book cover
