Critics Review
…Expect an insightful introduction to the practice and principles of good advocacy from a well-published academic. The beginner advocate (like me) will find some very useful ways of understanding some of the rules of evidence and a solid grounding in how to properly prepare a case for trial. Selby provides tips about some of nuances of advocacy, such as ways of effectively having a witness describe lighting and dealing with one’s own anxiety. He also offers the reader the use of mind-mapping (or circles method) and shows how this method can be applied through all stages of preparation for trial.This fairly short book is littered with practical examples and is thus quite easy to digest. I can recommend it as a useful reference tool. - ACT Law Society Newsletter, Ethos, March 2010
