On Trial: Lessons from a Lifetime in the Courtroom - Hardcover

A primer on the art of trial advocacy, this book provides advice, tips, rules, proverbs, and secrets for a successful trial practice. Strategies for trying a first trial, common jury selection mistakes and how to avoid them, secrets of living with judges, the commandments of settlement, and direct and cross examination pointers are provided, and quotes from famous lawyers throughout history are sprinkled throughout the book. Not a textbook or a collection of war stories, this concise and practical reference will become second nature to lawyers over the years as they perfect their practice.

Henry G. Miller, Esq., has more than four decades of trial experience. He is a senior member of Clark, Gagliardi & Miller and the former director of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers and the New York State Trial Lawyers Association. He lives in White Plains, New York.
