Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hints on Advocacy: Intended for Practitioners in Civil and Criminal Courts, With Suggestions as to Opening a Case Examination, Re-Examination, Reply, Conduct of a Prosecution and of a Defense, Etc;, And Illustrative Cases
In revising this admirable work of an English barrister, while dis carding matter inapplicable to our system of practice, I have carefully avoided the exclusion of anything of value to the American reader. Seeking to further promote its utility to our young advocates, I have added four new chapters treating respectively of American Forensic Oratory, Ethics of Advocacy, This Honorable Court, and Gentlemen of the Jury. In Chapter IV. On Classes of Witnesses, I have ventured to insert sections characterizing the Expert witness, the Non mi Ricordo witness, the Swift witness, the Bullying witness, and the Female witness, as these types appear so frequently on the stand as to entitle them to separate mention.
