Summary: A good primer for those who'd rather skip law school
Comment: If the 15-year-old kid who became a legal 'expert' on Askme.com could do it by just watching TV, imagine what he could have done with this! Michael Kurland does a great job of explaining all the steps in a murder investigation and trial. Anyone who has watched Law & Order or another crime series will know most of the aspects of the process but he sheds some light on some aspects of the investigation process and courtroom rules that you might not know about. He also manages to throw some interesting historical references to where the laws and rules came from. It may not provide you with any knowledge that you'll turn around and use tomorrow, but you'll be able to hold your own at a cocktail party when the conversation turns to a famous case in the news.

Rating: 5
Summary: Very good reference for mystery writers.
Comment:

This book contains information essential to creating a courtroom drama.

Within the pages of this book you will find everything from the prospective jury questionnaire of the O.J. Simpson criminal trial to a glossary of legal terms.

If you are planning to write (or are even working on) a courtroom drama, I highly suggest purchasing this book to help you along. It will take you step by step through the process of trying a case.

Michael Kurland gives you practically everything you need to know about the persona you will find in a courtroom and what their specific jobs are in the court.

Reading this book will not make you a legal expert but it will give you a very good start!
