by U.S. District
Judge David Levi and U.S. Magistrate Judge Peter Nowinski
Object and Respond With Authority
Most
evidentiary rulings are within the judge’s discretion, and are made in
seconds. Bad rulings are almost never reversible. As a result, victory
usually goes to the lawyer who can prevail on the big objections in the heat
of battle.
The key to
winning evidentiary debates is objecting and responding with arguments and
supporting authority at your fingertips. That is where David Levi and Peter
Nowinski’s Federal Trial Objections comes in.
Blunt opposing
counsel’s objections and block the admission of damaging evidence with
Federal Trial Objections’ courtroom tools. Authors U.S. District Judge
David Levi and U.S. Magistrate Judge Peter Nowinski masterfully detail 165
objections with pattern objection language, scope of governing rules,
practice tips and cautions, arguments for making and responding to
objections, and over 2,000 cases. Now you can more readily:

Covers More Than
Objections

supported with case authority, and the underlying scholarship will impress

practical coverage in this new trial practice book will quickly earn its
inexpensive keep.
