Very Witty and Wise Advice5
This book contains a wide variety of articles that were written by James McElhaney for the American Bar Association's Litigation journal over the years. He dispenses a tremendous amount of wisdom collected from his own experience and that of other lawyers.

McElhaney covers almost every conceivable subject for the trial lawyer. What I particularly enjoyed is that there are ninety chapters that are easily accessible because they are usually only six or seven pages long. For instance, he has an enlightening chapter on trial practice that every lawyer must read. He covers the following: how to keep the client happy, getting rid of cases you have that have turned out "to be dogs," how to get along with judges, trying to settle cases, and deciding when it is time to leave your firm. In short, this book is filled with superb tips, anecdotes, and many war stories that make the pages turn very quickly.

A "must have" for any up and coming young lawyer5
This book was suggested to my Advanced Trial and Evidence class in lawschool. I decided to pick up a copy to see if it would really be worthwhile for my future practice since I want to litigate. It is excellent from what I have read so far. Many of us were shown or told how to do or say certain things in pretrial and trial litigation class. This book is not only a good reminder, but it has many other practical and entertaining ideas that I'm sure to use in my future practice. A "must have!"

McElhaney's Trial Notebook5
McElhaney's book contains all of the guidance one needs in order to prepare for trial. From practical guidance for organizing materials to inspirational passages on the formation of the theory of the case and argument, this book has it all. I prefer it to the Mauet book.
