Understanding the legal system. Insight on how lawyers prepare for their cases. The legal framework for persuading arguments.

The best book for any person who wants to understand how American Courts work! At times we all ask questions like "How can this criminal get off on technicalities if it is obvious that he/she committed crime?", or "How can this be fair?" or "How can a lawyer defend this "bad guy/girl"? This is totally wrong! He/she is a criminal!" The author explains the difference between law and common sense, law and ethics, understanding of crime in legal terms and in laymen words.The book closely examines the logical reasoning of the law professionals , demonstrating the "tricks" used in court rooms. Fascinating reading!!! WARNING: the book will not prepare you to go to court and defend your case! This is not a "how-to" manual for folks who are planning to go to court. Hire a lawyer if need be.However, if you want to learn how to present and defend your point (any point, not just legal issues) as an intelligent and convincing person, this book is for you! Chances are, by the time you are done with debating your next case, your opponents will at least respect your opinion (or hate your guts, which still might give you some satisfaction).This book is for anyone who wants to boost up their skills in logical persuasion, finding loopholes in opponent's logical reasoning.Lots of interesting and valuable information for a pretty small price! It is written in a short and clear format: each chapter discusses specific idea, giving examples from court cases and average daily life (parent-child, husband-wife, employee-supervisor), concluding with a practical application summary argument vs. counterargument. So, no reason to read the entire book from beginning to end. One can just pick any chapter and read about how this or that legal (logical) rule can be applied in daily life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for public executives
Concise, focused, and full of real-world point and counterpoints, I found this to be more of an essential piece of oratory combat equipment than a book. As a non-lawyer working in public service, this book provides excellent points on interpretation, form versus substance, and the importance of observation and evidence – all skills needed to protect the public interest. As someone who monitors contracts in the public sector, many of my peers could benefit from this book and better design contracts to the advantage of their public entity. Incidentally, I was also involved in a heated discussion about data interpretation the same week I was reading this book, and was able to calmly defend and dominate the discussion until my opponent acquiesced. More important than dominating your opponent is the theme throughout this book that one’s argument must be genuine, and the logic tight. Additionally, as Prof. Trachtman reminds readers that these skills, like a weapon, should only be used for good. A great read!
3.0 out of 5 stars Useful for young people considering law as a career, but not for anyone with significant legal experience.
The usefulness of this book depends entirely on the reader's legal experience. If you are thinking about law school, are a first year student, or have no experience in moot court/ mock trial, I can see it being very beneficial, because it lays out basic principles cogently. However, you are anything more than a second-year law student, this book is a bit of a waste of money. The content in the book is basically covered in first year civil procedure, or any basic moot court class you will have done. There is little added insight from a rhetorical perspective. I wouldn't buy it again for myself, but I would give it to a high school debater who is thinking about law as a potential career path.

Thanks so much to the great Author.
Very basic book.
If you're a student, certainly it will enlighten; however, as a practitioner with years of experience it is less appealing.
Excellent
Great read, not overly technical. Accessible summary of many core legal concepts. Tools are applicable in all areas of life. Will very much help a person to think critically and make strong, rational arguments.
Book came in excellent condition
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
Very interesting for the layperson
A useful introduction to the argumentation tools and methods used in the legal profession. Plenty of noteworthy paragraphs to read again later.
