 I heart Scalia July 17, 2008

Nothing like reading thoughts from the country's greatest legal mind of this century...Antonin Scalia is amazing.

Great Primer July 6, 2008
This book condenses an advocacy course down to it's most helpful points. It is a quick easy read and many of the points can be put to use right away. Other points are aimed towards improving one's advocacy over his lifetime. The book made good use of anecdotes and hypotheticals to illustrate more complicated points.
While the book is a little pricey for its size, it is definitely worth the money.
A Great Supreme Court Judge June 24, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
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! June 22, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
