Michael E. Tigar has distilled 30 years of litigating and studying
effective advocates into this valuable book which contains critical keys
to persuading jurors and judges. Starting with a brief background on
classical rhetoric and persuasion theories, the author takes you

presentation.
The book includes transcripts of celebrated jury and court arguments,
including those of famed advocate Edward Bennett Williams.
"Most lawyers have, at one time or another, read the elegant and
persuasive words of Daniel Webster, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain,
Clarence Darrow. Many have studied the arguments of other great
advocates in the common law tradition. What marks their arguments? What
makes them memorable?" Michael E. Tigar
