I bought this for my son who is on the path to be a Barrister. This book outlines very good points of view and is explained in an easy to follow and comprehensible outline. Great book!

Can’t really say much about books. Does exactly what it says it supposed to do in the blurb.And it could be the worst book in the world anyway if the smell of the pages that always gets me but ignoring the pages I can’t fault the book at all lots of technical jargon lots of nice and simple stuff for people like myself

This is an AMAZING book written by a professor of law who is clearly experienced in the art of litigation. The insight the book exhibits will provide for a highly fascinating read for anyone interested in the art of argument. The author sets out the many ways in which the same subject can be argued from differing angles and goes into depth with regard the many tools that can be used to accomplish this. I was so fascinated by this book, I am going to read it again and it will remain prominently on my book shelf as an excellent resource for when the next argument shows up in my life. I have found that our ability to argue equals our ability to survive in this world.. If you’re ineffective at defending yourself the world will push you around. If you learn to stand up for yourself and fight back through the mechanism of elegant litigation, you can make the big bad wolf step away from your door and leave you in peace. This book will show you how to make a good start along that trajectory. In learning how to formulate good arguments, I have also made and saved money. I must admit, it is rather nice to enjoy an expensive cappucino seated on a veranda somewhere…knowing that your adversary has paid for it. I am neither a lawyer nor a student of law – just an ordinary guy interested in learning how to develop and defend arguments better than most people I will ever meet. In all litigation there is a case for the prosecution and a case for the defence, this book will help you in drawing your proverbial sword. If you’re like me, you’ll love this book.

I’m not sure I learned anything new, but this is a terrific short introduction to, as the title says, the tools of argument, from the perspective of a good lawyer. Heartily recommended to everyone, but would be especially of use to law students and newly qualified lawyers.

Bit heavy but great if you are of a legal mind.
