Comments

Diana: Emotions are part of humanity but they do not facilitate effective problem solving, they often mask the real issues. I was looking for straight-forward ways to engage in honest, effective discourse when I bought this book, I did not find them here. Honest, fact-based discourse solves problems while emotional manipulation creates them. I am returning the book.

Jaferomo: This book is very practical. It contains advice on how to excel in a case in a very easy manner. It also provides with advice in life in general. I enjoyed it very much , and will recommend it to young lawyers.

LaMonique Mac: If you’ve read the book you may want to grab the audio they’re structured differently. I’m not an attorney looking to win a legal case but rather grabbed this book when I became stuck in writing a nonfiction book. I felt my persuasion could use a little help. After listening to this audio I restructured my outline to reflect the things I’d learned and suddenly my writer’s block was gone and my nonfiction book began to transform into something, interesting, human and relatable.

Amazon Customer: Not being a big fan of How to books, specially coming out of the USA approached this with my usual tepidation. Happy to report that Gerry Spence trumped me with his candour & ability to break up the entire managment of the case into small, manageable tasks with clear determinable mileposts. What is really heartening to read from an hard nosed lawyer, is his deep philosophical teachings like being honest in your approach & the primal motivation before any attorney, to get justice for his/her clients. Would surely like to recommend this to anyone who wants to succeed in dealing with power centers and has to present his case/point/proposal in a civilised manner in different power equations.
The insights are practical & implementation ready. Moreover the breezy style of writing peppered with the right doze of down to earth humour & slice of life observations makes it a pleasant read.

Kindle Customer: Great book with an underlying theme of be yourself and respect others.

Samsoneet: Spence joins the legal substance of a good argument with emotions. He wraps it up in eloquence and sells it to the audience. This however is not justice. It's a game. Should Joey be sentenced to death for murdering a little girl? After all, Joey was himself abused as a child by his drugged mother who was failed by the state. But was she really? Was the state an excuse for the mother to fall into drugs instead of plodding through life despite numerous hardships? How many mothers are strong and resilient enough to raise good citizens despite of abject poverty and an alcoholic husband? How many despicably abused children show immense determination to raise above their plight and overcome their childhood nightmares to become decent adults without reverting to taking an innocent life? Joey's hard life is not an excuse and should never be sold as such. Spence constructs good emotional and compelling arguments. He knows the jury listens to emotions and hardly ever to facts. All humans do. However Spence's arguments can be rebutted with an equally compelling argument to a human nature, equally emotional but grounded in reality and the life itself. The only good advice I took from his book...

M. J. Egan: First, I was put off by the title of this book. I thought it might be more hot air from a sales guy with a few tricks up his sleeve. Worth ten to twenty minutes of flipping through chapter titles but not much else.

I am glad I didn't judge the book by its title. I could probably boil most of the message down to authenticity. Good speakers are authentic - they don't hide themselves or from themselves. This isn't so new (although a new context) but Spence does something interesting here while delivering the message of authenticity- he reminds you to speak to and connect with the power people, the decision makers. I would take a scared young woman trembling in fear but with true emotional connection in front of a jury than a slick prosecutor anytime, he tells us. He reminds us that law is an emotional discipline no matter how much we want to take emotion out of it. We lawyers are the chosen champions of a trial by contest. We stand the best chance of winning when we bring our feelings with us.

He reminds us that most of us decide with felling and bend our intellect to match it. If you know that, then you remember to connect first and foremost. And connection comes from...

Terrapin Station: This is a very good book. Written straight from the heart. It is greed that attracts many lawyers to read about Mr. Spence and his successes. Others may simply be hoping for morsels of trial skills that can save or better them. I was initially skeptical of Mr. Spence; I thought he might be a limelight- and publicity-seeking opportunist of the same genre of Johnnie Cochran, F. Lee Bailey, Melvin Belli, and/or other high profile trial lawyers. Not so with Mr. Spence. His record speaks for itself. He quite generously shares the internal insights that set him apart from other mega-successful trial lawyers. If you are a lawyer that confines yourself to advice, research, settlement negotations, and/or bench trials, away from the ultra-risky human connection with jurors, this may not be such a compelling read. If you want to be an effective trial lawyer with little or no fear of trying cases before juries, this is a special book. What amazed me is how Mr. Spence sprung from such humble, tragedy-filled beginnings to the height of the legal profession. Mr. Spence has persuaded me that all intellectual force springs from internal feelings. Having spent the last 30 years believing that...
