"The native American Voltaire, the enemy of all puritans, the heretic in the Sunday school, the one-man demolition crew of the genteel tradition."-Alistair CookeFiercely intelligent, scathingly honest, and hysterically funny, H.L. Mencken's coverage of the Scopes Monkey Trial so galvanized the nation that it eventually inspired a Broadway play and hit movie.
Mencken's no-nonsense sensibility is still exciting: his perceptive rendering of the courtroom drama; his piercing portrayals of key figures Scopes, Clarence Darrow, and William Jennings Bryan; his ferocious take on the fundamentalist culture surrounding it all-including a raucous midnight trip into the woods to witness a secret "holy roller" service.
Shockingly, these reports have never been gathered together into a book of their own-until now.
A Religious Orgy in Tennessee includes all of Mencken's reports for The Baltimore Sun, The Nation, and The American Mercury. It even includes his coverage of Bryan's death just days after the trial-an obituary so withering Mencken was forced to rewrite it (both versions are included, although the rewrite seems, if anything, even less forgiving).
With the rise of "intelligent design," Mencken's work has never seemed more unnervingly timely-or timeless.

Not only do they calculate odds with lightning speed and astonishing precision, but they also cunningly anticipate and manipulate the actions of their adversaries. In short, they boast skills that every lawyer can envy. This highly entertaining work might best be summed up as "better lawyering through poker." Steven Lubet shows exactly how the tactics of the poker table can be adapted to litigation, negotiation, and virtually every aspect of law practice. In a series of engaging and informative lessons, Lubet describes concepts like "betting for value," "slow playing," and "reverse bluffing," and explains how they can be used by lawyers to win their cases. The best card players, like the best lawyers, have a knack for getting their adversaries to react exactly as they want, and that talent separates the winners from the losers. Lawyers' Poker is an irresistible guide to successful lawyering and an enjoyable read for anyone with an interest in law. No poker knowledge required.

Cross-examination is the most exciting and anxiety-provoking time in every trial. This book is a practical guide that provides an analytical explanation of successful cross-examination that should greatly alleviate many new lawyers' anxiety.
Cross-examination is more than simply questioning a witness. It should be used to persuade the jury and obtain evidence for your final argument. However, this is not as easy as it sounds. This is a difficult skill that must be learned by all successful litigators.
This book offers 67 principles that every trial lawyer needs to know, including:
- Closing arguments should be formulated at the beginning of the case (not at the end)
- Know what you seek to accomplish in your cross-examination
- Respond to a harmful answer by immediately asking another question
- Cross-examination should not be conducted from written questions
- Every witness should be damaged or neutralized on cross-examination
"Every trial lawyer, both novice and expert, will need this essential work." - E. Donald Shapiro, former Dean and Joseph Distinguished Professor of Law at New York Law School

David Boies, the star trial lawyer in a country obsessed with legal drama, proves endlessly fascinating in this compulsively readable account of his extraordinary career.
A man of almost superhuman accomplishment, Boies argued a string of headline-making cases before being catapulted to international prominence when he represented Al Gore before the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore. Brash, reckless, and prideful, he is also charming, charismatic, unerringly articulate in the courtroom, and supremely comfortable in the public eye. Legal journalist Karen Donovan, herself a lawyer, had unprecedented access to Boies for nearly two years. In v. Goliath she gives us a scintillating chronicle of the legal dramas in which Boies has played a crucial role and a riveting, up-close portrait of a singularly gifted lawyer.
