The Art of Argument

Thinking like a lawyer is no deep dark trade secret. Anyone of reasonable intelligence can do it. You don't need three years of law school, $60,000 in student loans, or a three-day bar exam to make a persuasive argument. In Think Like a Lawyer: The Art of Argument, seasoned attorneys Gary Fidel and Linda Cantoni show you step-by-step how to do it and do it well. All it takes is the discipline to organize your thoughts before you express them, and to keep your arguments as simple and direct as possible. There's no guarantee that you'll win every time, but you'll certainly give your opponents a run for their money every time, and help yourself avoid unnecessary litigation.
