HOW TO WIN IN COURT - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW - 4th Edition

If you want to learn how to win court cases then this Guide is for you. Whether you're a layman or a young lawyer, or a trainee lawyer or law student, you'll find this short book invaluable. It covers everything you need to know, including -

For the layman:
* what to do if you find yourself arrested for an offence you haven't committed;
* how to handle yourself at an ID Parade so as to minimise the danger of being wrongly identified and maximise the possibility of further proceedings being dropped;
* how to find a successful lawyer or attorney who will win your court case for you;
* how to represent yourself without a lawyer (if that's what you wish) without alienating the judge;
* when bail is opposed by the prosecution, how to make a bail application that has the best possible chance of success;
* how to collect and safeguard the evidence you need to win your case;
* how to ensure your witnesses won't let you down;
* how to prevail and keep your integrity in a savage cross examination from a seasoned professional; and
* how to win the sympathy of the judge or jury who will decide whether you win or lose.

And for the lawyer and trainee lawyer:

* what to do if your client is arrested and requires your immediate presense;
* how to handle an ID parade;
* how to make the best possible application for bail, where it is opposed by the prosecution;
* how to handle your client's home or business premises being searched by the police ("police search and seizure");
* how to impress on your client(s) the importance of collecting vital evidence in support of their case;
* how to easily teach your client(s) the difference between admissable and inadmissable, relevant and irrelevant evidence (this can save a whole lot of time later on);
* how to advise your client(s) how to deal effectively with the cross examination they will have to go through at the hands of the advocate for the other side.

But aren't court cases won by the best lawyers?

Well, that's often how it seems, but it's not that simple. You see, even the best courtroom advocate depends on the instructions he's given, the evidence he has available, and the reliability of the witnesses he has available.

So how do you make sure your lawyer has full instructions, solid evidence, and reliable, clued up witnesses? And if you are the lawyer, how do you advise your client so he can make the best of his case?

Once you know how to do this then the prospect of fighting your case in court, whether as plaintiff or defendant in a civil case, or as the accused in a criminal trial, becomes much less intimidating. And your prospects of success increase dramatically.

If you're a layman handling your own case without a lawyer, then you'll discover in addition
* how to make sure your witnesses don't let you down;
* how to recover money owing to you; and
* how to pursue and contest custody and maintenance claims.

Written by a former Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales, in straightforward, layman's language, this 24,600 word Guide can be read in an hour or two. Yet it covers everything you need to be aware of.

There have been recent additions of a Chapter on Bail and an Appendix on Evidence.

As you know, the law varies from one jurisdiction to another. So this book does not constitute legal advice, as such. But it does give you all the "para-legal" advice that applies in all jurisdictions based on common law, and that your lawyer probably doesn't have the time to cover.

In court you may or may not get justice. But you do get a result. Make sure that result is favorable to you.
