Making your Record: Courtroom Guidebook for Attorneys and Law Student
by Leticia Araujo Perez

About the book: In Making Your Record, Leticia Araujo Perez, a professional courtroom reporter, provides insight into how a courtroom really works and how the attorney's role can make or break a smooth-running courtroom. The book explains how to ensure the "record" works to your advantage by utilizing proper form. Too often, an attorney will not prevail in court or on appeal, having failed to properly prepare for the proceedings. Knowing how to introduce yourself prior to making any statement in court, how to properly lay a foundation before introducing evidence, how to properly query witnesses, and how to make requests of the court staff are all covered in detail. Other chapter topics include basic trial preparation and witness preparation. Making Your Record provides a comprehensive curriculum on courtroom practice that even the most seasoned practitioners will find useful. This book will be of interest to any professional who finds himself or herself in the courtroom on a regular basis, such as court interpreters, expert witnesses, law enforcement, and probation officers.
