Demystify the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Yourself and Your Clients!

The Federal Sentencing Guidelines rival the U.S. Tax Code in complexity, and clients routinely are dumbfounded when we try to explain to them the “guidelines analysis” applicable to their case. The Federal Sentencing Guidebook by Alan Ellis and James H. Feldman, Jr., succinctly unravels the mystery that is the Guidelines for clients, their family and friends, as well as the occasional federal criminal practitioner. Newly revised, the 92-page Guidebook is completely up-to-date and includes analysis of the Supreme Court’s recent decisions in Booker, Gall and Kimbrough.

The principal author, Alan Ellis, Esq., is one of the nation’s foremost sentencing specialists, and also is the author of the highly acclaimed Federal Prison Guidebook, which for years has been the standard reference work on U.S. Prisons.

We were skeptical about the usefulness of Mastering Voir Dire and Jury Selection, by Jeffrey T. Frederick, Ph.D., but after immersing ourselves in its comprehensive contents, we soon became converts. The book contains a wealth of practical information, based on solid research and sound reasoning, that even experienced lawyers might not otherwise consider. Examples include: How often do we think far enough ahead to match the affiliation interests of key witnesses to those of prospective jurors – knowing these connections might influence the jurors’ future credibility determinations? (see page 17). How many of us are aware that as a plaintiff’s lawyer in personal injury actions involving dangerous activities, for example skiing, we are statistically much better off selecting jurors who are not skiers, rather than selecting those who are? When should a criminal defense lawyer want authoritarian figures on their jury? (see page 25).

Mastering Voir Dire and Jury Selection offers the perspective of a true expert - one who has spent his career studying the art and science of jury selection. Jeffrey T. Frederick, Ph.D., the Director of the Jury Research Services Division of the National Legal Research Group, has been involved in jury selection research for 30 years. He has written extensively on the subject and has lectured to numerous trial lawyer organizations.

              Drawing upon his extensive experience and expertise, Dr. Frederick reveals how to:

• attain the major goals of voir dire (i.e., information gathering, rapport, education and persuasion);
• identify crucial opinions, biases and experiences of jurors that can influence their decisions;
• encourage jurors to reveal important information about themselves;
•  utilize the information about their opinions and feelings that potential jurors communicate through non-verbal behavior;
• develop and ask questions on voir dire necessary to uncover desired information;
• capitalize on information available through the use of juror questionnaires;
• exercise preemptory challenges and challenges for cause in a manner that removes the least desirable potential jurors,

… and much more!

              Perfect for novices and seasoned litigators alike, this fully indexed, 300-page book is published by the ABA General Practice, Solo & Small Firm Section. It is accompanied by a CD that includes dozens of sample juror questionnaire forms for a diverse range of criminal and civil cases, including obstruction of justice, organized crime, murder, securities fraud, controlled substance offenses, antitrust, breach of contract, qui tam, wrongful termination and much more!  The book will more than pay for itself the first time you use one of these forms.
