title: Winning on Appeal : Better Briefs and Oral Argument (NITA's Practical Guide Series) (NITA practical guide series)
author: Hon. Ruggero J. Aldisert
description: "This is a wonderfully instructive book. The writing is clear and vigorous. Comments from state chief justices, federal chief judges and from law clerks add a broader perspective to what Judge Aldisert has himself observed. Although the instruction this book provides will be particularly valuable to the neophyte at the bar, even the most experienced veteran will find things here worth pondering." -- <i>Charles Alan Wright, Professor, University of Texas Law School</i><br /><br />"Winning on Appeal, the latest book by one of the greatest appellate judges of our time, Ruggero J. Aldisert, is a must volume for the appellate advoacte. Indeed, it is a must for those who select appellate advocates. The art of appellate advocacy is the least developed of the branches of advocacy, and Judge Aldisert's volume will substantially advance the art. Even a veteran in the appellate practice will find it to be most helpful, and it has a welcome place in my library." -- <i>Griffin B. Bell, former Attorney General, Partner at King &amp; Spaulding, Atlanta</i>
