The Tools Of Argument: How The Best Lawyers Think, Argue, And Win

Has all the basics; it will teach you some essential things if you are starting.

If you're a student, certainly it will enlighten; however, as a practitioner with years of experience it is less appealing.

Love the book! It’s a handy thing to read in your spare time, and has valuable insights that helps enhance your knowledge on the art of communicating

It is a basic legal book with some tips for negotiating in a legal and non legal sectors. It is not only for lawyers or students in law is possible to read for a layperson. In my opinion, it is useful whether you want to understand some arguments or considerations that lawyers use when they have to go to the court or face a private negotiation. The book does not give you any mysterious secrets or remedies for facing a legal problem, it only gives you some common legal suggestions. Maybe, it will be more useful for laypersons.

This is an AMAZING book written by a professor of law who is clearly experienced in the art of litigation. The insight the book exhibits will provide for a highly fascinating read for anyone interested in the art of argument. The author sets out the many ways in which the same subject can be argued from differing angles and goes into depth with regard the many tools that can be used to accomplish this. I was so fascinated by this book, I am going to read it again and it will remain prominently on my book shelf as an excellent resource for when the next argument shows up in my life. I have found that our ability to argue equals our ability to survive in this world.. If you're ineffective at defending yourself the world will push you around. If you learn to stand up for yourself and fight back through the mechanism of elegant litigation, you can make the big bad wolf step away from your door and leave you in peace. This book will show you how to make a good start along that trajectory. In learning how to formulate good arguments, I have also made and saved money. I must admit, it is rather nice to enjoy an expensive cappucino seated on a veranda somewhere...knowing that your adversary has paid for it. I am neither a lawyer nor a student of law - just an ordinary guy interested in learning how to develop and defend arguments better than most people I will ever meet. In all litigation there is a case for the prosecution and a case for the defence, this book will help you in drawing your proverbial sword. If you're like me, you'll love this book.

An excellent Text extraordinaire on precepts of law in all its magnanimity required to be read again and again. Thanks so much to the great Author.
