Title: The Art of Questioning: Thirty Maxims of Cross-Examination by Peter Megargee Brown ISBN: 0-02-517450-9 Publisher: MacMillan Publishing Company Pub. Date: March, 1987 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.67 (3 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: One of those little books worth reading again.
Comment: Quite a short book, but with lots of thumbnail sketches of little maneuvers in law cases. It's not as good as one might wish for ascertaining useful techniques of cross-examination, but it is a subtle book, pointing out things that might not be naturally noted when dealing with a hostile (or defensive) person. My interest in this book originated with my criminal-defense lawyer brother, but since I am a philosopher, I have to argue with hostile students everyday. Thus, I could use some useful pointers on fruitful and effective questioning. I get the feeling this is a little book that should be reviewed every once in a while as a review of effective questioning. Definitely worth the price, and an easy read too.

Summary: Worth the price
Comment: Not the best book, but worth the price and worth a read. Not for the beginner.

Summary: A Middling Good Mishmash of Maxims
Comment: Professor Irving Younger gave Ten Commandments for cross examination. Brown goes Younger twenty better, but I'm not sure it's an improvement. Most of his advice is sound, but he wanders astray on a few occasions. "30 Maxims" is a workmanlike effort, but not of the first order of excellence. I'd give the book two stars if it weren't so inexpensive. Someday a modern lawyer will write a book on cross that tops the century old "Art of Cross Examination," by Francis Wellman, but that time has not yet come.
