9781604421033: Convincing the Judge: Practical Advice for Litigators

Synopsis

Kuhne, a litigator in Dallas, has prepared a handbook for attorneys on courtroom behavior. While the title states that it is about interactions with judges, the advice goes far beyond that to preparing the case, selecting jurors and negotiating settlements. Kuhne suggests that the litigator familiarize himself with the judge's background beforehand. Other advice would seem obvious: be civil, be organized, speak slowly and without jargon, don't waste the court's time with frivolous motions. The book is organized in short, clear sections with checklists. If all litigators followed Kuhne's pattern, the backlog of civil cases would be greatly reduced.
