Publisher Description:
This book helps non-lawyers represent themselves in any legal proceeding where evidence is presented, witnesses testify or arguments are made. Particularly, it is helpful in the following types of cases: - divorce - child custody - child support - traffic ticket - restraining orders - eviction (aka, unlawful detainers) - small claims - professional licensing hearings This is an instructional handbook that takes a practical, easy-to-understand approach, telling you what to say and how to say it. The book provides quotes on what you can say, word for word, in a given scenario. You will discover how to: - plan your trial strategy - make an opening statement - present evidence - prepare your witness - conduct direct examination of your witness - conduct cross examination of your opponent's witnesses - introduce exhibits into evidence - present a persuasive closing argument This book does not teach you how to handle your case from beginning to end or provide you with any legal forms. Instead, its sole focus is to help you while you are in the courtroom. You should have this handbook with you during trial or any hearing where someone could testify so you can use it as a resource in a moment of need. It is well-organized with a detailed Table of Contents so you can find what you're looking for quickly. Its focus is on the principles used in the federal rules of evidence, which have broad application across the United States. By studying this handbook, you will know the rules of evidence and understand how they apply to your situation, so you can present the strongest case possible. Finally, a key feature of the book is that it is thorough enough to get you through a whole trial, but it also does not bog you down in the details of every aspect of a case. If it were any longer, it would provide you with too much information, paralyzing you with not knowing where to start. The handbook's compact size makes it a great resource to have by your side during your trial.
