Summation. Vol. IV of Trying Cases to Win

By Herbert Jay Stern

Book Overview

The author develops his philosophy of litigation, describing how the final argument of the case does not occur when lawyers address the jury during summation, but rather when jurors are alone in the jury room. He argues that it is the job of the lawyer to teach those jurors predisposed to the lawyer's position how to argue with their adversaries in the jury room and how to convince them to change their decisions. Stern uses examples from actual cases to demonstrate his philosophy.
