Tremendously interesting perspective on the methods and goals of opening statements and voir dire. Although there is a tinge of "look what a great lawyer I am, by reading my transcript from a case when I was only 31 years old," the accompanying commentary and review of the transcript is totally worthwhile. And, the author is duly proud of having achieved conviction as a junior level prosecutor up against some of the best defense attorneys of the day. I can see why this series continues to be recommended even though it was published nearly 20 years ago. I will definitely be continuing through the other volumes of the series. Highly recommended to all trial lawyers and trial lawyer wannabes.
