Direct Examination. Volume II, Trying Cases to Win. Description
(3900 characters maximum): Originally published: New York: Aspen
Publishers, 1992. Reprinted 2013 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. xv,

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, Direct Examination, Stern provides a variety of
direct examination techniques, using transcripts from a variety of
cases.
