In Strong Advocate, Thomas Strong, one of the most successful trial lawyers in Missouri's history, chronicles his adventures as a contemporary personal injury attorney. Though the profession is held in low esteem by the general public, Strong entered the field with the right motives: to help victims who have been injured by defective products or through the negligence of others.
As a twelve-year-old in rural southwest Missouri during the Great Depression, Strong bought a cow, then purchased others as he could afford them, and eventually financed his education with the milk he sold.

Each point in this guidance is explained this way. By using these examples, you have the structure for your deposition or trial notes.

As a category of exhibits, replications are methods for recreating the "real thing". Unlike the recordings of the "real thing", like photographs, which show the real thing as it exists in real life, replications start from scratch and recreate or build a "copy" of the real thing. For example, animations are produced using very sophisticated computer software that can combine many forms of data with color and perspective to create a very lifelike reconstruction.
Publisher's Summary
The Essential Little Book of Great Lawyering teaches lawyers everything they need to know - and do - to impress clients. If your clients think you are a great lawyer, they give you more work and referrals. If your clients would not describe you as "the best lawyer with whom they have ever worked" then you must listen to this audiobook. Jim's core thesis is simple: Being a great lawyer IS the best way to grow a practice. This will be music to the ears of many lawyers who are reluctant to enter the seemingly-pedestrian world of marketing. Unfortunately, there is a twist. Lawyers must understand what it means to be a great lawyer in the client's eyes, and that requires a very specific approach to lawyering. The framework for this approach is set forth in a clear, practical and engaging series of examples and ideas that have grown out of hundreds of client interviews Jim has conducted.
