Details

Advocacy explains how to win cases in court. Focusing on the techniques and methods of successful advocates, David Ross QC shows how to prepare a case for court. Writing in simple, clear language he gives the benefit of his many years of local and international experience. This second edition features new advice about how to prepare for, and run, an appeal, as well as how to write effective submissions to court.

The new edition also describes:

how to hold a court's attention
how to start and stop a witness
how to cross-examine all types of people, from liars to experts
the methods of taking objections to questions
how to address a jury
how to follow etiquette and behave ethically
how to win impossible cases

All the principles of advocacy are explained, from the striking start to knowledge of human affairs, and the book is rich with examples taken from real cases.
