Description

When David Ball on Damages was first published in 2001, it changed the way attorneys seek damages. This audiobook provides step-by-step guidance for attorneys seeking money for their clients. Ball explains why jurors give, why they do not, and how to motivate them to do the former instead of the latter. He walks readers through voir dire, opening, testimony, and closing, providing practical, effective, and innovative methods for pursuing damages. Now, in this expanded second edition, Ball includes methods to contend with the way today's jurors view lawyers and their clients. The techniques provide tools to counter sophisticated opposition tactics, the public mood, and laws and rules that continue to grow more hostile.

This title is part of the iWin™ series of educational media by Trial Guides™.

Reviews

"This book that started the damages revolution is now twice as big, twice as good, and many times as useful. It shows how to deal with the 'tort-reform' onslaught by turning jurors into our best allies. This new edition guides us step-by-step from case intake through closing. Don't miss it, and don't give it to any defense attorneys!"
—Roxanne Barton Conlin, Roxanne Conlin & Associates, Des Moines, Iowa

"Throw your old copy away and get David Ball's second edition immediately. He has made a great book even better and more essential. His tort reform solutions are worth the price alone."

"In well-written, concise chapters, Ball gives broad strategies and specific tips on damages for every stage of the trial, from jury selection through closing argument.... Ball's book is a prize for plaintiff's lawyers. Even experienced trial lawyers will find some valuable insights in this succinct guide to damages... The best thing for defense lawyers would be if their adversaries never read the book."
