Founding Partner Robert S. Arns is the author of The Trial Wheel and The Evidence Wheel — dynamic and accessible quick-reference guides that explain virtually every evidentiary issue that may arise at trial, and break down each stage of a civil trial, from pre-trial motions to closing arguments, with clear and concise explanations. Whether you're a seasoned trial lawyer, a judge, or just beginning your legal journey, The Evidence Wheel and The Trial Wheel offer swift access to the tools you need to develop automatic trial reflexes and a systematic approach to evidence.
Available in both California and Federal editions, The Evidence Wheel and The Trial Wheel are indispensable references for resolving trial strategy issues. Keyed to The Rutter Group Practice Guide: Civil Trials and Evidence (both California and Federal editions), The Wheels should be kept at counsel table throughout every phase of trial. Written by a veteran trial lawyer and law professor who teaches trial practice, these Wheels provide:
• Guidance for both veteran and novice trial lawyers seeking to sharpen their courtroom skills
• A systematic approach to evidence and trial practice, aimed at developing automatic trial reflexes
• A seven-prong framework applicable to every evidentiary issue
• Digital flashcards and a self-study program to prepare for trial
• Strategic help with issues such as challenging the judge, motions in limine, jury selection, opening statements, and direct examination
