Winning at trial means getting your evidence in and keeping the opposition's evidence out - or at least minimizing its impact. Most evidentiary rulings are within the judge's discretion, and are made in seconds. Bad rulings are almost never reversible. In sum, victory goes to the lawyer who can prevail on the big objections in the heat of battle. The key is knowing why, when and how to object and how to respond - at a moment's notice - with supporting authority at your fingertips. That's where Justice Freedman's New York Objections comes in. Like no other resource, New York Objections uses a courtroom-friendly format to cover more than 100 trial objections with clear, concise explanations, practice tips, and cautions - plus the rules, statutes, and cases that comprise and construe New York's rules of evidence. Model language for more than 100 objections. Use the language provided - or tailor it to fit your specific situation. You can turn to the model language you need in seconds. Comments: Justice Freedman comments on each objection. She explains the practical application, scope, and purpose of the governing rules. And she describes the circumstances in which each objection is proper and most effective. Practice Tips and Cautions: Justice Freedman provides ample practice tips and cautions, alerting you to common mistakes and important strategies. And the book's format makes them easy to spot.

Rules & Procedures

A criminal trial is too important to just "wing it" and hope your witnesses are more believable than the prosecution's. You have to have a strategy. Relentless Criminal Cross-Examination gives you that strategy and shows you how to implement it: First, use your opening statement to outline the weaknesses you will expose in the government’s case. Second, demonstrate to the jury, through focused cross-examination, that the facts are more in accord with your opening remarks than with the prosecutor’s. Third, use your closing argument to arm jurors with the tools they need to deliver a favorable verdict for your client. Relentless Criminal Cross-Examination teaches you proven techniques you can use to cross-examine police officers and detectives; informants and accomplices; eyewitnesses; expert witnesses; and alleged victims. The pattern cross-examinations cover a broad array of crimes and situations, including crimes of violence, sex offenses, and DWI, as well as police encounters, arrests and motions to suppress. All of these materials are supported by insights and practice tips gleaned from author Kevin Mahoney's 20+ years in the courtroom. The Sixth Edition brings you more of what you have come to expect from this one-of-a-kind legal practice guide. The highlights include: <ul>
<li>Sample cross of a narcotics detective re: reliance on confidential informants; no probable cause to arrest.</li> <li>Sample cross of the arresting officer re: arrest of a foreign-born suspect; no probable cause to arrest.</li> <li>Sample cross of the detective who obtained a "confession": challenging the impact of defendant’s statement when defendant makes no admission.</li> <li>Sample cross of alleged rape victim re: failure to obtain, or unreasonable delay in applying for, a restraining order.</li>
</ul>

Criminal Law

Good things come to criminal defense clients whose lawyers are aggressive litigators, but many criminal defense lawyers are easily dissuaded from utilizing suppression motions--arguably one of the best tools in their arsenal--when presented with what seems like a reasonable offer from the prosecution. When in doubt, file the motion! Written for both the new criminal law attorney and the seasoned veteran, Deja Vishny's Suppressing Criminal Evidence can help you litigate suppression issues more aggressively, more efficiently, and with greater success, taking you step by step through the suppression litigation process, from the initial client interview, to drafting the motion, to arguing at the hearing. What others are saying about Suppressing Criminal Evidence: "Recalling my early days as a public defender, I had little idea how to translate my command of case law into successful pretrial motion practice. Oh, do I wish this book had been available then! While her book is geared to all levels of experience, it is indispensable to those new and newer to criminal defense. I'm now more than 30 years into this field, and found it very informative." Tony Bornstein, NACDL, The Champion "This is an excellent resource for criminal defense lawyers. Well-researched with many helpful sample motions and cross-examinations. I look forward to consulting this work in the years to come." Kathleen Stilling
