Robert E. Long, a successful Virginia lawyer, has encountered the lack of knowledge of legal rights and court procedures among many of clients, and jurors in the courtroom. He has developed over the years a “story telling” technique to help explain complex legal issues to these clients and jurors. He has now written a new book, Trial Lawyer, that uses true case stories from his files to demonstrate how the law functions in real life:“Tue cases” in my new book, Trial Lawyer. (All identifying details have been fictionalized.) “Mary O’Sullivan,” “My husband has become a very successful plumbing contractor. I now have the time to become very active in my daughter’s school and extra-curricular activities. I am the happiest woman on earth.” Other stories in the book include cases about personal injury, a stolen military secret, patrimony and adultery. Each case suggests different legal principles. Trial Lawyer would appeal to the growing number of people who watch Law & Order on TV and read John Grisham’s legal thrillers – with the added drama that these are true cases. The book can be purchased at a 15% discount ($14.95) at www.go-to-court.com.
