I chose to self-publish this series, only as E books, and only on amazon.com. Rick has his own Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ricksandsnovels.

[Asra · Rating 1.5 out of 5]

I don’t know why I tried reading this, since I’m not a law student, but it seems really helpful for those who are. I read about half the book before realizing it was getting too technical. Still, it got me thinking about how 'good' lawyers argue and why they argue that way. Maybe some of the things I picked up from this book will help me in defending my points or even in accusing someone of something. I also learned a lot about 'contentions' and why the structure of your contentions matters. Don’t read this if you’re not a law student.
