Communication in Legal Advocacy

I found this book quite helpful in understanding the use of communication in dispute resolution. The material is presented clearly and intelligently, but not in an intimidating manner; it is understandable. The material itself is thorough, with several documented studies and examples to illustrate the points made. All claims were supported by evidence or logic. It is a book I would recommend for anyone interested in the legal processes, for it demostrates the importance of communication to those processes. I would also recommend this book to those who are interested in the theory of communication and do not necessarily desire a focus on the legal system. The ideas of and studies on communication are fascinating independently of their application to legal advocacy.
