Author, and former Harvard Law professor, Francis Wellman, was considered the most brilliant cross-examiner of his day.
During his stint as ADA in New York City, he was accredited with more verdicts of murder in the first degree than had been obtained by any other prosecutor up to that time in the United States.
A lawyer's lawyer, he became a hired gun of sorts, brought on to join multiple different counsel's trial teams, just to cross-examine.
This title, Wellman's The Art of Cross-Examination is still read by law students and litigators today, and considered the definitive guide to the art of cross-examination; essentially, the law equivalent of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
An incredible copy of the rare first edition, first printing.
