Nathan Veldhuis’ reviews The Art and Science of Mastering the Jury Trial

“The Art and Science of Mastering the Jury Trial” written by Judge Samuel Johnston and Irv Cantor and recently published by The Virginia Trial Lawyers Foundation is a valuable tool for any lawyer regardless of his or her level of experience.

The book tracks the life of a jury trial from the moment a potential client appears at a lawyer’s office through post-trial motions. The authors’ presentation is unique in that it appeals to both new lawyers and seasoned lawyers alike. Moments in the book are plainly intended to speak to a less experienced audience, but at the same time manage to impart pearls of wisdom to the more experienced audience.
