Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges An unabridged reading by the authors on audio CD

Law students and lawyers must be able to do two things well: speak persuasively and write persuasively. In this noteworthy audio book, two of the most noted legal writers of our day Justice Antonin Scalia and Bryan A. Garner systematically present in their own voices every important idea about judicial persuasion in a fresh, entertaining way. Making Your Case is a guide for students, novice attorneys, and experienced litigators alike. It covers the essentials of sound legal reasoning, including how to develop the syllogism that underlies any argument. From there the authors explain the art of brief writing, especially what to include and what to omit, plus what it takes to succeed in oral argument.
