Fundamental Trail Advocacy is designed to empower advocates everywhere to more effectively represent clients. It does so by focusing on the law, the skill, and the art of advocacy, combining these three portions of the advocacy process to ensure that the final product outweighs the sum of its parts. If you are holding this book in your hands then you are preparing to embark upon a hero s quest. Welcome. There is no better way to spend your life than in service to another, and all advocates serve those whom they represent. This book takes the common sense approaches of the National Institute for Trial Advocacy and Professor Mauets work at the University of Arizona, combining the best of their methodologies with a superior structure for case analysis and an attention to the art of advocacy that is not normally discussed.
