Last year we began distributing Find Info Like a Pro (Volume 1), by Carole A. Levitt and Mark E. Rosch, which focuses on finding information on the Internet from non-government sources.  It immediately became one of our most popular books because it provides powerful tools for attorneys looking to mine the Internet for virtually every type of information.  We are now pleased to offer Find Info Like a Pro (Volume 2) (2011), which focuses on finding information on the Internet that originates in government sources.

We reviewed our sample volume (and included CD) for several weeks before deciding to distribute it to assure it delivers on its promise – and it does.  It’s current, well-designed, clearly written, and its authors understand what kind of information attorneys typically look for.  For example:

• on page 314 you’ll learn about government metasites, including www.usa.gov, which permits both simple and advanced searches through millions of federal and state government sites.  I was currently researching laws addressing whether a child could be subpoenaed to testify against a parent so I ran a quick search for “subpoenaing a child to testify against a parent.”  It immediately returned several relevant sites, including Section 504 of the Massachusetts evidence code; proposed Florida state legislation to create a parent-child privilege; and much more.

• tired of paying Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis search fees? Beginning on page 205 you’ll learn about the several available free and low-cost search options – some available through participating state bar associations and some open to the public -- and how to best use them, including Casemaker, Fastcase (and the related Public Library of Law), Google Scholar, FindLaw LexisONE and more.  (We actually link all the case citations in our Second Circuit Criminal Law Outline to the full-text cases on Google Scholar).  But the authors don’t just identify these sites, they also provide great tips for using them to get intel on judges, adversaries and witnesses.

• on page 317 you’ll learn about www.gpoaccess.gov (which has now been updated to a new site and search engine at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/), which will give you instant access to virtually everything that comes out of the Government Printing Office – and much more – an extraordinary treasure trove of information.  The advanced search option permits you to search within selected documents or groups of documents and to either perform a full text search or search by narrow criteria such as title, author or branch of government.
  
  
• Beginning on page 246 you’ll learn all about powerful pay investigative research databases and their regulation under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) – including those owned by Lexis Nexis (such as Accurint), Westlaw (PeopleMap), LocatePLUS and others (Tip: check out the newest paid database addition – TLO.com, founded by the originator of Accurint).

            This terrific volume also comes with an alphabetized CD in searchable PDF format, which links to the hundreds of  the sites discussed in the book.

            We highly recommend Find Info Like a Pro.  It will give you a leg up on any fact-oriented or legal research you need to perform and will pay for itself the very first time you use it.

This is the new and expanded Third Edition (©2011) of Jeffrey Frederick’s classic work on voir dire.   We first came upon this volume when the Second Edition was published and immediately recognized it to be the best of the genre.  We sold out our inventory of the Second Edition and so jumped at the chance to distribute the Third Edition.

Substantially expanded and accompanied by a terrific CD, Mastering Voir Dire and Jury Selection goes far beyond other voir dire guides and approaches voir dire as both art and science.  The first 300 pages of the book are divided into ten chapters and includes thorough discussions of the major goals of voir dire; analyzing juror backgrounds; the use and abuse of stereotyping; understanding non-verbal communication; case-specific voir dire development; interview techniques; common situations and problems; juror questionnaires; the impact of the Internet; how to evaluate jurors; group dynamics; selecting the jury; and much, much more.

But these first ten chapters represent only the first half of this insightful book.  The second half includes nearly 300 more pages divided into six Appendices, which include sample motions; voir dire questions on numerous topics in both criminal and civil cases; the proposed questionnaires in the U.S. v. Zacarias Maoussaoui terrorist trial; a sample memorandum in support of a Batson motion, and more.

Then there’s the included (fully searchable) CD, which reproduces some 140 jury questionnaires divided into numerous civil and criminal practice areas that you can incorporate directly into your own questionnaires. The CD is compatible with both PCs and Macs.

This new edition of Mastering Voir Dire and Jury Selection retails for $149.95 at the ABA store.  North Law Publishers is pleased to offer it to you for $129.95 – less than the ABA member price. Additionally (as always) shipping is included.   We’re confident you will agree that Mastering Voir Dire and Jury Selection is an invaluable resource for any trial lawyer and will more than pay for itself the very first time you use it.

This new, expanded and feature-rich edition of Richard Levitt’s massive Second Circuit Criminal Law Outline provides instant access to thousands of cases covering hundreds of criminal law topics for use in the office or the courtroom.

• 1,227 pages of fully searchable case digests in PDF format!

Jay Goldberg, who was cited by New York Magazine as one of Manhattan's "most powerful, talented and fearsome defense attorneys,"provides a comprehensive overview of the criminal litigation process that is chock-full of practical information. This 372-page, hard-cover primer, offers a wealth of tips for the legal novice and serves as a comprehensive refresher for even the most seasoned legal professional -- covering all of the basics, from preparing for cross-examination to summation. No matter how experienced an attorney you are, you will, at several points in this book, say "I never knew that" or, "I'm glad he reminded me of that."

"Preparation and Trial of Criminal Cases Within The Second Circuit" explores a broad array of issues through the perspective of a lion of the trial bar, who has survived and thrived in the "big leagues" for nearly half a century. It includes excerpts from Mr. Goldberg's devastating cross examination of Sammy the Bull Gravano and from his legendary summation in U.S. v. Bess Myerson -- which alone, makes it worth the price of the book.

Although the volume focuses on criminal cases within the Second Circuit, don't be fooled by the title -- Mr. Goldberg's insights apply equally to all federal trials. A graduate of the Harvard Law School, who has served as acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana; as Special Attorney and Counselor to the United States Department of Justice, Washington D.C.; and as Assistant District Attorney, New York County, he offers access to information that would take a lifetime to learn. A must read for any criminal defense attorney new to the complex world of criminal trial law at the federal level.
