The Old Wisdom is Not Wise: Ways We Lose and the Way We Win, David Ball, PhD., Trial Consultant 

The prisons are full of the ex-clients of attorneys who have simply been doing their cases wrong. Flat-out wrong. Years of research have proven this, and shown how to reverse it. The new way is simple and quickly learned, makes it easier and faster to prepare for every trial, and makes conviction as unlikely as the Founders intended. If this sounds like hype, you won't think so once you've learned it.
