Written by a distinguished N.Y. trial attorney, it distills the author's forty years of courtroom experience into a highly readable trove of wisdom and common-sense advice on the art of advocacy.
On Trial: Lessons from a Lifetime in the Courtroom by Henry Miller is a masterclass in trial advocacy, distilled from four decades of experience and originally penned as essays for the New York Law Journal. Written with clarity, wit, and humility, this book offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the courtroom through the eyes of a seasoned trial lawyer. Miller addresses every phase of trial from jury selection to closing arguments with hard-earned wisdom, humor, and practical advice. His tips are invaluable, whether you're a novice facing your first case or a veteran attorney seeking new insight. It is peppered with memorable quotes from thinkers like Montaigne and Mark Twain, but it’s Miller’s own maxims that leave the biggest mark. He offers everything from “The Ten Commandments of Settlement” to a no-nonsense “Cross-Examination Survival List.” With candor and charm, he reminds lawyers to be authentic, adaptable, and always prepared. His guidance like telling young lawyers to admit it’s their first case, but not more than five times is as human as it is strategic. On Trial isn’t just a guide; it’s a companion for any trial attorney seeking to walk into court with confidence, grace, and a little bit of laughter.
