Trial Advocacy Goes to the Movies

Go to the Movies for Lessons in Trial Strategies, Techniques and Skills

What do My Cousin Vinny and Atticus Finch have in common? A lot more than you might think. While Atticus Finch’s closing argument in To Kill a Mockingbird continues to inspire viewers to attend law school, the cross-examinations in My Cousin Vinny—while hilariously funny—offers an equally compelling example of excellent trial advocacy.

With the aid of movie clips that are just a click away, this e-book explores advocacy from pretrial preparation through closing argument.
