In this reflective and practice-focused volume, seasoned courtroom veteran Gerald Todaro examines the realities of courtroom advocacy and the disciplined preparation behind effective performance.

Through lessons drawn from significant cases across his career, Todaro offers insight into navigating evidentiary challenges, managing risk, and avoiding common pitfalls that can derail even well-prepared counsel.
