Trial Notebook (2025)

Product description:

NEW—2025 Trial Notebook  

OCDLA’s 2025 edition of The Trial Notebook, edited by Marcus A. Gunn, represents one year of dedicated hard work by some of the best trial advocates and defense practitioners in Oregon.
In addition to the extensive revisions, updates & strategic practice tips you’ve come to rely upon with any OCDLA manual, the 2025 Trial Notebook brings to you two new chapters: As-Applied Challenges (Henry Oostrom-Shah & Ryan Scott), and Daredevil Direct (Shaun McCrea).
The Trial Notebook works in chronological order from your initial review of the rules through discovery, to demurring, to the indictment, to preparation for and conducting the trial. The Trial Notebook will become an indispensable tool in your arsenal if it is not already, and having it in court will give you a leg up on the prosecution.

From the Foreword: “The Trial Notebook has evolved into a criminal defense trial advocacy practice guide. I recommend that both new and seasoned attorneys review this Notebook throughout the pretrial and trial advocacy stages of a case.” —Marcus A. Gunn, Executive Editor
