your case before arriving at court? The author, a practising
barrister for over thirty years, believes a highly focused approach
to your written advocacy - correspondence, written negotiation,
Part 36 offers and skeleton arguments, written opening notes for
trial, closing submissions and costs submissions - will put you in
the best possible position to do just that. The importance of oral
advocacy in deciding cases is not in dispute, but increasingly
judges form pre-trial opinions of the likely outcome from written
material, notably the skeleton or opening note. The application,
trial or appeal then becomes a process to measure the judge's
pre-formed view. The effective written closing submission will
become part of the judgment. This book not only offers a practical
and comprehensive guide to effective written advocacy, but provides
worked examples drawn from real cases contributed from leading
advocates such as Sue Carr QC, David Etherington QC, Lord Faulks
QC, Andrew Hachhauser QC, Richard Lissack QC, Lord Pannick QC, and
Lord Sumption. Of particular interest to both practitioners and
students of litigation practice, the second edition offers 17 new
examples together with a discussion on written advocacy in family
and criminal cases. Invaluable to the practising lawyer, this book
will also be compelling reading for anyone with an interest in
using the legal process. "Goodman has produced a first-class
practical guide to modern written advocacy. The beauty of Goodman's
new edition lies with the working examples from leading current
advocates so we know what it is that the judges want. Effective
Written Advocacy is an advocate's bible both invaluable and
compelling...should be compulsory reading for all law students."

How Judges Decide Cases is a unique and practical guide which looks
at how cases are decided and judgments are written. It examines the
style and language of judges expressing judicial opinion and
considers the drive for rational justice. The book is founded upon
independent research in the form of interviews conducted with
judges at every level, from deputy district judges to justices of
the Supreme Court, and the practical application of academic
material more usually devoted to the structure and analysis of
wider prose writing. This new edition has been revised to take into
account modern scientific thinking on bias in decision-making and
is generic to all areas of contentious law. Newly appointed
recorders, deputy judges, tribunal chairman, lay magistrates and
arbitrators as well as experienced practitioners will find it
invaluable as a guide to the deconstruction of judgments for the
purpose of appeal.
The Synchronicity Code presents a new discovery about the way
history repeats across the field of time. The author's exploration
of numeric patterns in the markets as an investor led to this
discovery. As the research progressed, it soon became clear that
meaningful coincidences are the key to de-coding the patterns of
history. From wars to assassinations, to inventions, to the births
of sages, The Synchronicity Code presents case after case
demonstrating the theory in action, at times with such stunning
accuracy as to be nearly beyond belief. Most of the examples are
drawn from well-known historical events, so anyone can verify them.
Not only does The Synchronicity Code show the links between events
of the past, it also offers a way to predict the timing of events
in the future. The Synchronicity Code will teach you how to do the
calculations yourself. Thus begins a new adventure in man's
relationship to his own history, as The Synchronicity Code puts a
new slant on an old question: Is he who knows history condemned to
repeat it?

single source digest of all reported awards of general damages

as Thompson & Hsu v Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis
