Modern Trial Advocacy: Canada has set the standard for trial advocacy texts since 1995. Each chapter contains a thorough discussion on preparation, analysis, techniques, and ethics. Sheila Block, partner and senior trial and appellate counsel with Torys, Toronto, and Cynthia Tape, an associate with Torys, Toronto, practicing civil litigation, have provided Canadian case and statutory references. 
The second edition of Modern Trial Advocacy contains three significant changes. A new chapter on Trial Tools summarizes the various persuasive techniques that can be used throughout the trial. Rather than focus on specific aspects of a trial-such as opening statement or cross-examination-this chapter presents an overview of how lawyers can present information in the most persuasive manner. Following that theme, the new chapter on Persuasion Theory discusses the process of juror (and judge) decision making, applying important insights from the fields of psychology and cognition theory. Finally, the chapter on Jury Selection has been significantly expanded.

Now in its fourth edition, Modern Trial Advocacy: Canada is the first and last word in Canadian trial practice. This classic handbook, published by the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, gives practitioners a detailed road map for conducting a trial. Expanding on the original text written by Steven Lubet for an American audience, experienced Toronto trial lawyers Cynthia Tape and Julie Rosenthal guide the beginning advocate in developing a winning case theory through all phases of trial. They explain how to present a case as a story and powerfully and persuasively tell that story to the jury. Modern Trial Advocacy: Canada provides not only Canadian case law and statutes, but also valuable insight into the specific elements of Canadian litigation practice as itpresents a realistic and contemporary approach to learning and developing trial advocacy skills. This book offers a sophisticated, theory-driven approach to advocacy training that distinguishes it from other books in the field. The fourth edition has been updated with current citations to case law, statutes, and rules and the latest best practices for using technology in the courtroom.
