Winning the Acquittal: Tips from a High-Profile Trial
Michael S. Pasano
Criminal defense lawyers recognize they cannot gauge the pain, panic or despair their clients feel may at trial. So they try to guide clients through the alien and unfriendly process of a case by telling it to them straight and giving them choices. It is, after all, the lawyer's job to explore what the best possible resolution of the case is. The best plea, for instance, or whether to testify or remain silent. And then to present the advice to the client. The challenge is to neither understate nor overstate the risks. Because while the defense counsel will go home at night, the client may risk going to jail. And so the lawyer's job is to fight, aggressively and tirelessly, for the client.
This book provides insider's tips on winning a case for the defendant. Based on a trial diary kept by Michael S. Pasano, it documents the day-to-day developments of the high-profile 2009 trial of Luisa Inclán Bird, an advisor to Puerto Rico's former governor. Each step of the trial, from preparation and jury selection to media coverage, cross-examination, and closing, is enhanced with sample questions and practical tools for use in the courtroom. Told in "real time", the book is filled with observations and comments about how criminal defense work is done; what succeeds and does not succeed; how criminal defense attorneys perform their work; and what well-planned steps they take toward winning a judgment for their clients.

Warning the Witness
|
| By Gary H. Collins and David Z. Seide |
|
This guidebook covers the practical issues of attorney-client privilege in internal investigations. Any attorney who conducts an interview in an internal investigation faces a unique set of challenges, not least of which is the tension between representation of the corporate client and fair treatment of the corporate constituent. This book addresses some of the more complex questions associated with the attorney-client privilege:
- What best practices should corporate counsel follow when interacting with corporate employees while conducting internal investigations on behalf of the corporate entity?
- What advice or warnings -- commonly referred to as Upjohn warnings, or corporate Miranda warnings -- should corporate counsel provide to corporate officers, employees, shareholders, directors and trustees?
- Furthermore, how should counsel give those warnings?
The book offers a Recommended Best Practices section that contains sample witness warnings; guidelines for corporate counsel who seeks to interview a constituent; supplemental oral warnings; and a list of topical issues and questions likely to arise in an internal investigation.
