*Crimeline*
365 Daily Advocacy Tips reminded me that [advocacy] is not just an
art, but a science too...For the experienced advocate, 365 Daily
Advocacy Tips returns them to the classical roots of their work,
re-explaining rhetoric and the psychology that underpins their
everyday craft...Leslie Cuthbert's book urges one on to
improvement...Highly recommended.
*The Law Society*
...if advocates new and old were to take on board even a handful of
the tips, courts would be better places...this book is not designed
to be prescriptive; rather, it is thought-provoking...frankly, it
would be only the most conceited individual who did not learn
something useful.
*Law Society Gazette*
The beauty and surprise in this book is that one is not swamped
with words, giving one space to stop and think...This book is a
very sensible purchase for solicitors and barristers and I do
recommend it.
*The Criminal Lawyer*
a gem...buy the book and consult it repeatedly.
