Chess & Criminal Trials

More about the book

The purpose of this book is to enlighten you on the similarities between the game of chess and criminal trials. Chess and Criminal trials are divided into three elements, the opening, middle and end game. Chess masters know that they must start strong and end strong. As it is with chess, so it is with criminal trials. A strong opening and closing speech constitutes a good basis, but the advocate must also arrange his middle material of examination in chief and cross examination so as to bring maximum persuasion to bear on the fact finder.
