Mark Curry is a retired trial court judge with more than 34-years of experience in the courtroom. He is the author of the Practical Trial Handbook, a concise and practical treatise on the fundamentals of trial. The handbook covers the nuts and bolts of a generic trial from the motion in limine to the closing argument, and everything in between. The handbook is a good refresher for attorneys preparing for trial and also an excellent learning resource for law students interested in learning the more practical "real-world" aspects of trying a case. The handbook also contains many "trial tips" from the author related to trying a case not typically found in other more formal trial practice guides. The handbook has two editions, one which cites the FRE and other which cites the California Rules of Evidence. The handbook is available at Amazon Books. See the links below.
Thank you for your detailed explainations 😀 I've followed the Karen-Read-trial and wondered why the judge didn't allow to explain the cause of the objections. Is that allowed and normal in Massachusetts or only a personal preference? I thought it was confusing for the jurors, not to know why the prosecution or the defense attorney made an objection. Sorry for my bad english, I'm out of school in Germany since 1986 🤷♀️ Hoping for an answer and with best wishes from Frankfurt am Main 😊
❤ Thank you so much Judge Curry for all your excellent videos and easy to read and understand book, which I ordered on Amazon here in Canada, to help me with my pro se divorce trial in a few days.😊 It would be wonderful if you would make more videos because they are so incredibly informative!😊
A judge going out of his way to make an informative video for the purpose of helping shows this guy's true character. The last thing any judge was gonna do in my experiences is to help.
STOP @ 54.00 I'm not a robot.. I don't just reference the signal. I also reference all the vehicles and try to synchronize with everything in the most optimal manner with respect for safety. I do not drive from a standpoint of liability.. safety first.
When I plaintiff deposed in chief and was testifying documents the defendant objected to my documents but did not say any reasons for his objections. The judge noted 'objection' to every document without any reason and did not admit the documents as exhibits. Now how can I get the documents exhibited to use them as evidence in trial of civil suit?
I prefer to focus on one style (i.e. criminal defense, restraining orders, domestic violence, etc)... this is great for general info, but more specifics can help put certain strategies with certain defenses.
I'm in a different jurisdiction but these tips were still very helpful. I had my first ever go at cross last week (in a mock trial setting), and the issue I had was that I prepared well enough but I relied too much on questioning on the fly and ended up losing my train of thought.
I have a question, my neighbors outdoor parties last for 7 hrs (loud+music) until 2:30am, their noises audible through my residence, we cants sleep. Local ordinance is 85dB (whoever makes this law does not know how loud it sounds like). I want to sue in small claim court. Beside journal and measure noise inside my house. what would you advise me to do and what does a judge want to see as evidence in my case? What quality as good evidence? I can only measure inside my house. When i tried to measure at the property line, my neighbor blocked it. Can i measure on the patio instead so they can’t block it? Thank you so much. I am going to watch all of your videos to learn how to prove my case in court. Will let you know the results…
I dont understand why the hell someone would listen to your information and then unlike. I think a bored ass narcissist would dislike if it didn't work in their favor , but you can't make a horse drunk the water. I mean I been battling a local agency that kidnapped my child and sold her while I was forced to be confined from society. Still dealing. I think you're great , I KNOW YOU ARE GREAT AS A PERSON GIVING ADVICE. IM A PERSON WHO IS COMPETENT AND WONT USE ANYTHING AGAINST YOU. ~. SBG ✓%
What would I know though .I'm a single Native American Mother considered indigent, but needs a 2 million dollar attorney because I didn't put my child for adoption. And I won't. By the way. 126 clean UA's compliant , parenting classes , mental health on point, ....but now I'm an illegal immigrant because I refuse to put my baby up for adoption
My son was your age when he became interested in law. Today, he is a practicing attorney in Seattle. He found his niche and only practices in federal courts. Keep at it young man!
Weird a judge would label someone an obstructionist for objecting to what the judge considers to be a minor issue. Would an obstructionist be someone obstructing justice? Isn't that a crime?
I don't think he's labeling, but what he said in the beginning is that what a attorney or judge's opinion is of a defendant has an effect on what an attorney will object to. Now it depends on what state your in how an attorney will defend your case. Some jurisdictions have no money so it's in the court's best interest to find you guilty of the offense to make money
@@Jason-bx1jf If an attorney has been given a letter of rogatory instructing to make specific objections, the attorney is required to do so. A "judge" making a negative opinion of an attorney and calling them an "obstructionist" isn't being fair impartial. Yes, sounds like an "administrative" (commercial) official and not a judicial one.
Thank you for such great informative information! Now the question is if my attorney does a poor job while defending me on a fake criminal case how does one still win the case when it goes to trial/jury?
I enjoyed this session, i am an advocate in the RSA ; i need to purchase your practical hand book for legal practitioners , how do i get my hand in this book judge.
