Courtroom Psychology and Trial Advocacy

An invaluable resource for experienced trial attorneys, inexperienced trial attorneys looking to advance to the next level of trial practice, and corporate counsel who handle litigation, thisbook looks at the role courtroom psychology plays in modern trial practice. It covers the essentials of trial practice, including jury selection, opening and closing statements, and questioning witnesses, as well as the key aspects of arbitration hearings and mediations. But what makes this book different from basic trial advocacy primers is its attention to the results of decades of scientific research relating to courtroom psychology(or persuasion psychology). This area concerns how and why jurors, judges,and arbitrators make decisions and how they are influenced. This book examines the role persuasion psychology plays in modern trial practice andhow lawyers can use it to their advantage.Waites, Richard C. is the author of 'Courtroom Psychology and Trial Advocacy' with ISBN 9781588521125 and ISBN 1588521125.
