Trial By Jury is a memoir that chronicles the experiences of the author as a young attorney who is suddenly assigned to try his first civil jury trial right out of law school. He has to learn quickly how to fight to win the case for his client, in and out of the courtroom, against older, more experienced adversaries. The book follows his account of twenty-two real life jury trials and the lessons he learns from each one about the judges, juries, opposing parties, opposing counsel, clients, witnesses, and himself. It is an enjoyable and entertaining read not just for lawyers and law students or people who have served on juries, but for anyone.
