Book Lawyers  Judges   Semi Rational Beasts

Download or read book Lawyers Judges Semi Rational Beasts written by Daniel E. Holloway and published by Daniel Holloway. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawyers, Judges & Semi-Rational Beasts surveys the cognitive science literature to distill the main findings that matter for persuasion in any context involving deliberative decision-making — with a focus on the legal context. The book assembles those findings into a coherent model of human decision-making and identifies foundational principles on which legal advocacy (or indeed, advocacy in most contexts) should be based. “You can spend the next 5 years reading every good book on persuasion, or you can read this one elegantly written book by Dan Holloway. But this is more than a summary of what others have written; it is a brilliant integration of what others have written into a powerful perspective on persuasion for the trial lawyer.” — Richard H. Friedman, Inner Circle of Advocates; co-author of Rules of the Road; author of Polarizing the Case and On Becoming a Trial Lawyer “Lawyers spend their careers attempting to persuade judges, jurors, clients, adversaries, and the press to adopt their positions — without giving sufficient thought to what would motivate those audiences to do so. Dan Holloway has drawn together a fascinating analysis of the inner workings of the human mind and how lawyers can apply that knowledge to persuade different types of thinkers. A valuable analytical tool for any attorney’s arsenal.” — Robert J. Dwyer, Boies Schiller Flexner LLP “In easy, engaging prose, this book provides indispensable light for anyone engaged in the foggy, mysterious work of persuasion. Every law firm should provide a copy to each of its lawyers.” — Lawrence B. Schlachter, MD, JD, Neurosurgeon (retired); medical malpractice attorney (active); author of Malpractice: A Neurosurgeon Reveals How Our Health-Care System Puts Patients at Risk “Crossing back and forth through the permeable membrane between the conscious and the unconscious realms where decisions sprout, Dan Holloway guides us on a meticulous, no-stone-unturned quest to reveal what determines how jurors or judges hear or read what the advocate speaks or writes. As Dan explains, persuasion is a matter not of proof, but of people: No one should be disappointed or disturbed to realize how little the “I” yammering away in your head actually controls. It’s mainly the unconscious self we love — the way you wear your hat, the way you sip your tea, the way you grin when your niece walks in . . . all the things you do without thinking about it. Those define you most. Those are the reasons people like you (or don’t). You hardly need me to say that all of this holds true as much for judges and law clerks and jurors as it does for you. Their responses to your brief or your trial presentation will derive largely from unconscious processes. Actually, Dan, we do need you to say it, and particularly in the depth and breadth of observation with which you have considered it in this book.” — Joshua Karton, communication and trial consultant; co-author of Theater for Trial with David Ball “Full of surprising facts and strikingly original observations, this book manages to combine sound practical advice for lawyers with a profound meditation on human thought, motivation, and behavior.” — Louis Michael Seidman, Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Constitutional Law, Georgetown University Law Center “A comprehensive study of the science and art of persuasion – boiled down to effective tools for winning over judges and juries (and your spouse and teenage child too).” — Mauricio Gonzalez, DLA Piper “The lessons and information Holloway provides would be valuable in any law school classroom. In particular, this book could serve as a key text in a stand-alone class on persuasion. It could also be a valuable supplemental resource in a variety of legal writing, clinical, and other courses that merge theory and practice.” — Ann Mallatt Killenbeck, Professor of Law, University of Arkansas “This book distills a library of cognitive science literature into a concise description of how human beings think and decide. Dan Holloway’s book provides the bedrock foundation from which all lawyers should work. It is required reading for anyone who wants to persuade.” — Lloyd N. Bell, medical malpractice attorney and member of the Inner Circle of Advocates

Book Saints  12 Heroes for All Times Special Collector s Edition

Download or read book Saints 12 Heroes for All Times Special Collector s Edition written by Joseph J. Randazzo and published by Elohim Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special Collector's Edition Grandpa had a vast collection of many books about Saints. He gathered from Italy written in Italian, where he then spent much time each evening reading stories before bedtime to Joseph about Saints that Grandpa had collected. As it was told in amazement to little Joseph very specific without missing details. Joseph then told his mother and father the Saint's life stories step-by-step. The parents were impressed as to the detail in storytelling by Joseph of such amazing content. However, mother was not happy with her father, Joseph's grandfather, speaking and telling the stories to young Joseph and Italian. Mother's fear was that little Joseph would go into first grade speaking broken English and mother's intuition was correct. For the young boy did have a challenging time in first grade understanding the Irish nun's English and thus he could not grasp reading or writing and was held back in the first grade. The relationship between Grandpa and the little boy just became stronger. The more mother complained and protested, Joseph looked up to his Grandpa. As he called him his Knight, his hero, and Grandpa in turn would tell the little boy over and over the real heroes are these incredibly special Saints, they are heroes for God and little Joseph believed his Grandpa. Grandfather would say the Saints have a "secret code". They wake up each day and knowing they are born again to do honorable deeds and give service working for God. They are true heroes, they pray each day and attend church and communion where they understand fasting and listening to the Holy Spirit who helps them grow their faith. Thus giving them special abilities to conduct miracles and many powerful and unexplainable things. Now, over a half of a century later, Joseph gives an impressive tribute to his grandfather for making his way as a 9-year-old little boy from a small boat from Italy to America without a passport and leaving his loving parents behind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The end of the world was only the beginning. In his internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed novel The Passage, Justin Cronin constructed an unforgettable world transformed by a government experiment gone horribly wrong. Now the scope widens and the intensity deepens as the epic story surges forward . . . In the present day, as the man-made apocalypse unfolds, three strangers navigate the chaos. Lila, a doctor and an expectant mother, is so shattered by the spread of violence and infection that she continues to plan for her child’s arrival even as society dissolves around her. Kittridge, known to the world as “Last Stand in Denver,” has been forced to flee his stronghold and is now on the road, dodging the infected, armed but alone and well aware that a tank of gas will get him only so far. April is a teenager fighting to guide her little brother safely through a landscape of death and ruin. These three will learn that they have not been fully abandoned—and that in connection lies hope, even on the darkest of nights. One hundred years in the future, Amy and the others fight on for humankind’s salvation . . . unaware that the rules have changed. The enemy has evolved, and a dark new order has arisen with a vision of the future infinitely more horrifying than man’s extinction. If the Twelve are to fall, one of those united to vanquish them will have to pay the ultimate price. A heart-stopping thriller rendered with masterful literary skill, The Twelve is a grand and gripping tale of sacrifice and survival.

Enthralling, emotional and entertaining.”—The San Diego Union-Tribune “Fine storytelling.”—Associated Press “Cronin is one of those rare authors who works on two different levels, blending elegantly crafted literary fiction with cliff-hanging thrills.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram

I wanted to lose myself in the small town of Pelion, Maine. To forget everything I had left behind. The sound of rain. The blood. The coldness of a gun against my skin. For six months, each breath has been a reminder that I survived--and my dad didn't. I'm almost safe again. But the moment I meet Archer Hale, my entire world tilts on its axis . . . and never rights itself again. Until I trespass into his strange, silent, and isolated world, Archer communicates with no one. Yet in his whiskey-colored eyes, something intangible happens between us. There's so much more to him than just his beauty, his presence, or the ways his hands communicate with me. On me. But this town is mired in secrets and betrayals, and Archer is the explosive center of it all. So much passion. And so much hurt. But it's only in Archer's silence that we might just find what we need to heal . . . and live. Includes an exclusive extended epilogue from Archer's POV!
