In their professional lives courtroom lawyers must do these two things well: speak persuasively and write persuasively. In this noteworthy book, two of the most noted legal writers of our day Justice Antonin Scalia and Bryan A. Garner systematically present every important idea about judicial persuasion in a fresh, entertaining way. Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges is a guide for novice and experienced litigators alike. It covers the essentials of sound legal reasoning, including how to develop the syllogism that underlies any argument. From there the authors explain the art of brief-writing, especially what to include and what to omit, so that you can induce the judge to focus closely on your arguments. Finally, they show what it takes to succeed in oral argument. The opinions of Justice Scalia are legendary for their sharp insights, biting wit, and memorable phrasing. The writings of Bryan A. Garner, editor in chief of Black s Law Dictionary®, are respected inside and outside legal circles for their practical guidance on the art of writing and advocacy. Together the Scalia-Garner team has produced a fresh, innovative approach to a timeless topic.
A Great Supreme Court Judge
| Customer Rating:  | | I gave this book to my personal attorney. He can and is authorized to argue a case before the Supreme Court. Like me, he looks up to Antonin Scalia as great judge. What Judge Scalia says in the book is helpful to all new lawyers who will have to litigate cases. This book should be included in the curiculum for future lawyers. |
A Low-Cost Legal Education!
| Customer Rating: | I'm no attorney, but I am preparing a Small-Claims Court case involving $500. Admittedly about as far from the Supreme Court (Justice Scalia) as you can get, but still the same general idea. "Making Your Case" provided an excellent set of ideas for both structuring my presentation and keeping in mind in any ensuing arguments.
Most of the book is intended for real attorneys, and my impression is that they too will benefit - particularly the material on making appeals, citing precedent cases, and how to NOT impress judges. |
A book of practical application
| Customer Rating: | | The book has been prepared by two outstanding writers who have the experience and expertise to advise on not only persuading judges, but for application in all walks of life. It is an application of legal psychology and intensely practical. It is recommended to all legal practitioners as a desk-top reference in legal case and court work, as well as other persons who have the need to persuade in matters of daily life. |
Great book for new or experienced attorneys
| Customer Rating: | | This book gives a great review and insights into the process of persuading judges at all levels. It is a must-read for every new lawyer, and an interesting and valuable resource for even the most experienced practitioner. |
A Solid Book for the Student of Advocacy
| Customer Rating:  | | A good (quick) read overall. The majority of the advice is pretty orthodox, but there are some very interesting isolated topics throughout the book, including the sections on the logical sequencing of writing and Garner's push to move substantive citations away from the text. |
