Voir Dire and Opening Argument. Volume I, Trying Cases to Win.
Description (3900 characters maximum): Originally published: New
York: Aspen Publishers, 1991. Reprinted 2013 by The Lawbook
Exchange, Ltd. xv, 685 pp. The trial process is the sum of its
parts-opening argument, direct and cross examination, and
summation. In Trying Cases to Win, nationally known trial lawyer
Herbert J. Stern provides an overall blueprint for conduct in the
courtroom as he guides the reader through each of these segments.
Rather than a collection of anecdotal war stories from various
trials, Stern outlines the nuts and bolts of the right-and
wrong-approach, processes and strategies for every component needed
for trial success. Each volume is also available separately.
In this volume, Voir Dire and Opening Argument, Stern describes
tactics for the voir dire process and the construction and delivery
of a successful opening to lay the foundation for the overall
argument.
