Reviews
“Rules of the Road does not belong on your bookshelf or your desk; it belongs in your mind.” - David Ball, Ph.D., author of David Ball on Damages more...
David Ball, Ph.D., author of David Ball on Damages, a nationally known jury consultant and trial skills trainer, is a leading authority on adapting audience persuasion techniques from theater and film to in-court use. He writes for a variety of law publications, and his NITA book Theater Tips and Strategies for Jury Trials is a national best-seller.
"Rules of the Road does not belong on your bookshelf or your desk; it belongs in your mind. Get it there before you even think about your next trial. It contains two special joys: It teaches something usable on almost every page, and what it teaches is dead-on right."
"Two brilliant lawyers, Malone and Friedman, who also happen to be brilliant advocacy writers, have written an easy-to-use, hard-to-undermine approach that will serve plaintiff's attorneys in almost every kind of trial. This is not a book of small arms. It's major artillery. If this book's methods do not significantly improve your courtroom results, then consider changing sides of the aisle because you must not have a plaintiff's bone in your body. Malone and Friedman take you step by step through trial preparation and trial itself to show you how to recast your cases in ways that even tort-'reformed' jurors will find hard to resist. Jurors rely on what they understand to be the rules that guide right or wrong, and Rules of the Road shows you how to make those rules exclusively your own. The target of this new book is the defense bar's favorite and most effective defenses, and it's a bull's eye. Bravo to this exciting new addition to our arsenal!"
"With one possible exception (and guess what I think that might be), Rules of the Road is the best trial strategy book out there. I have made it mandatory reading for all my attorney clients, and rely on its methods in every case. Any attorney who goes to trial without knowing this stuff should burn his or her bar card. Friedman and Malone's outcome-changing methods are truly that important."
“Taking on an insurance company in a lawsuit is extremely challenging for any lawyer — even the most experienced.” - United Policyholders more...
“Taking on an insurance company in a lawsuit is extremely challenging for any lawyer — even the most experienced. Insurance companies have enormous litigation budgets and are frequent and sophisticated users of the legal system. They often hire ‘bulldog’ lawyers who fight over every minor procedural matter and maneuver to create wasteful paper wars that consume the policyholder attorneys' time and staff resources. They resist basic, legitimate requests to turn over information about the claim and how they handled it. These tactics are designed to ‘starve out’ the plaintiff's lawyer and force a low settlement by making it financially impossible to take the case to trial. This book offers solid guidance for overcoming these formidable obstacles.”
United Policyholders
“Rules of the Road is innovative, interesting, easy to understand and follow, and its logic is very compelling.” - Larry S. Stewart, Former President, Association of Trial Lawyers of America more...
“Rules of the Road is innovative, interesting, easy to understand and follow, and its logic is very compelling. Any trial lawyer could benefit from reading this book. Too often, trial advocacy books do not ‘tie it all together.’ That is one thing in which these authors have excelled – taking the basic concepts of ‘rules’ and showing how to develop and use them in every stage of a case.”
Larry S. Stewart, Former President, Association of Trial Lawyers of America
“Rick Friedman and Patrick Malone have provided the readers with an invaluable tool.” - Thomas A. Demetrio, past president, Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and Chicago Bar Association more...
“Rick Friedman and Patrick Malone have provided the readers with an invaluable tool – a blueprint for the presentation of a well focused and analytically sound case. Rules of the Road contains a treasure trove of practical, concrete and “road” – tested lessons in competent trial advocacy. Whether a neophyte or seasoned, trial lawyers will love this book, while learning how to combat his or her worst enemies: complexity, confusion and ambiguity.”
Thomas A. Demetrio, Chicago, Il., past president, Illinois Trial Lawyers Association
and Chicago Bar Association.
“Friedman and Malone have given trial lawyers a road map to success.” - Stuart Z. Grossman, named Florida Trial Lawyer of the Year by the American Board of Trial Advocates, and member of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers more...
“Friedman and Malone have given trial lawyers a road map to success. It makes the reader re-evaluate how a case should be prepared and tried, and emphasizes how the trial begins in discovery. The book helps make complete lawyers even better and, believe me, these authors are complete lawyers.”
Stuart Z. Grossman, named Florida Trial Lawyer of the Year by the American Board of Trial Advocates, and member of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers
“Two preeminent trial lawyers share their powerful insights and practical techniques.” - Michael Koskoff, Member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, and listed as one of The Best Lawyers in America more...
“Two preeminent trial lawyers share their powerful insights and practical techniques in a lively and rewarding guide through case analysis, discovery and trial. This essential source is packed with valuable advice and lucid examples certain to help win the difficult liability case.”
Michael Koskoff, Member of the Inner Circle of Advocates,
and listed as one of The Best Lawyers in America
“This book is a ‘must read’ for all trial lawyers on all levels of practice.” - Don C. Keenan, Child Advocate and Trial Lawyer, Past President Inner Circle of Advocates more...
“This book is a ‘must read’ for all trial lawyers on all levels of practice. The text is a "soup to nuts" approach to the case from the theory (themes, analogies) to the practical (how to ask the first question on cross-exam, Daubert). Likewise the subject matter covers the entire playing field from accident and med mal to bad faith and products liability cases. Most importantly Rick and Pat weave the common threads that run through all cases.
One might ask why two members of the Inner Circle of Advocates would widely publish their secrets and winning techniques. The answer is found early in the book when the authors proclaim "there is no effective defense to our technique," the very reason the book needs to be in the hands of all trial lawyers.”
Don C. Keenan, Child Advocate and Trial Lawyer, Past President Inner Circle of Advocates
“The book is a combination of great advice on how to continue our education as trial lawyers but also a good read.” - Bart Dalton, former President of the Delaware Trial Lawyers Association, and Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers more...
“The book is a combination of great advice on how to continue our education as trial lawyers but also a good read.I recommend this as a useful tool to experienced trial lawyers and a necessity for those of fewer years experience.”
Bart Dalton, former President of the Delaware Trial Lawyers Association,
and Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers
“Pat Malone and Rick Friedman's book 'Rules of the Road' benefits every trial lawyer whether they have been before the bar 3 years or 30.” - Jim M. Perdue, Fellow of the International Society of Barristers, American College of Trial Lawyers, The Inner Circle of Advocates, and author of "I Remember Atticus" and "Winning with Stories" more...
“Pat Malone and Rick Friedman's book 'Rules of the Road' benefits every trial lawyer whether they have been before the bar 3 years or 30. I have been trying cases for over 40 years and find myself changing my approach on trial strategies in order to incorporate Pat and Rick's insightful and novel ideas. From discovery to closing argument they show how to simplify, clarify and persuade. Once you discover the novel treasures in these pages you will be going back again and again for ideas and support.”
Jim M. Perdue, Fellow of the International Society of Barristers, American College of Trial Lawyers, The Inner Circle of Advocates, and author of "I Remember Atticus" and "Winning with Stories"
“This book is a must read for aspiring as well as experienced trial lawyers.” - Jim Bostwick, President-elect of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, Member of The Inner Circle of Advocates, and listed as one of the Best Lawyers in America more...
“This book is a must read for aspiring as well as experienced trial lawyers. With clarity and insight it lays down a roadmap designed to avoid the common pitfalls found in every complex plaintiff’s case. What took me thirty seven years to learn by trial and error is detailed here in a common sense format with extensive examples, illustrations and authority.”
Jim Bostwick, President-elect of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, Member of The Inner Circle of Advocates, and listed as one of the Best Lawyers in America
“Rick Friedman’s Rules of the Road is a practical masterpiece ...” - Mike Bidart, Shernoff Bidart & Darras, LLP more...

resource for the effective prosecution of any plaintiff’s tort case— from start to finish! We all owe you for this, Rick.”
Mike Bidart, Shernoff Bidart & Darras, LLP

About the Authors
Rick Friedman has been called the insurance industries' worst nightmare. His successful career has been distinguished by multi-million dollar verdicts and precedent-setting case law. Among many of his landmark cases are the $152 million awarded to a State Farm agent in Bellott v. State Farm, $84 million awarded to a disabled doctor in Ceimo v. Paul Revere, and $16.5 million awarded to a disabled worker in Ace v. Aetna Life Insurance Company. His verdicts to date total over $300 million. Friedman is a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, an invitation-only group that limits its membership to 100 of the leading trial lawyers in the country.
Patrick Malone is one of the leading attorneys in the eastern United States who represents victims of serious personal injuries against drug manufacturers, hospitals, and others in the medical industry. He frequently teaches lawyer groups about cutting edge techniques in trial advocacy. His verdict in Benedi v. McNeil PPC remains one of the largest collected judgments against a pharmaceutical company. Malone was an award-winning investigative journalist before attending Yale Law School. Like Rick Friedman, he is a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates and is listed in The Best Lawyers in America.
Now, they share their secrets of proving liability in serious plaintiff’s cases of all kinds.
Friedman and Malone help you consider your theme and strategy for trial using their
"Rules of the Road" technique, and then take you from the pleading through discovery
and trial. |
