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.

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.
