interviews, investigation and discovery. There is a sample form for a motion to produce the owner’s insurance policy and dog pedigree, along with settlement strategies and trial preparations. And while the authors discuss the liability of landlords, you will still need to conduct your research to determine how California or your jurisdictions deals with this theory.

The advice is solid, and as you go along, set- tling and winning those cases, you will have more time to explore the psychology of jury selection and other more philo- sophical subjects.
