Download or read book The First 20 Hours written by Josh Kaufman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.

Download or read book Try Your Own Case written by Jordan Marsh and published by . This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Try Your Own Case, veteran trial lawyer Jordan Marsh takes his decades of courtroom experience and lays it all out to give self-represented litigants a fighting chance to get the best result possible in court. Try Your Own Case is an exceptionally readable guide to a complicated process, using common sense, humor, and plain English to walk through the different elements of a lawsuit. Whether you have tried unsuccessfully to find an attorney to represent you, or you are determined to go it alone, this book will walk you through the litigation process and give you the tools to try your own case effectively and persuasively. It is estimated that at least 75 percent of civil cases nationally include at least one self-represented (pro se) litigant. According to a recent study, more than 25 percent of all federal civil cases are filed by people without lawyers. That's a lot of self-represented litigants, most of whom are going up against qualified and well-paid attorneys. It doesn't seem like a fair fight. But isn't the point of a justice system to decide cases fairly? That's the general idea, but it rarely works out that way. The American judicial system -- like the judicial systems in most countries -- is adversarial. That means courts attempt to reach the best result and find the truth by two (or more) sides essentially competing against each other within the rules to convince a judge or a jury that their side should win. But that assumes both sides to a lawsuit have roughly equal resources and representation, which is often not the case. Fair or not, our legal system is not going away anytime soon. This book is an attempt to even the playing field between litigants who are represented by attorneys and those who are not. How? Through knowledge. A good attorney's greatest asset is knowledge. Knowledge truly is power. This book is here to walk people without lawyers through the civil justice system and provide them with the knowledge to navigate this complicated system and put up a good fight. Try Your Own Case includes: *15 chapters of instruction, explanation, tips and illustrations regarding every phase of the litigation process, from investigating your case through trial. *Glossary of Legal terms *112-page appendix with forms, instructions, and sample pleadings. If you're going it alone, you should have the tools to navigate the legal system competently. This book is your toolbox.

Book excerpt: A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins.

King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.

Download or read book The Winning Brief 100 Tips for Persuasive Briefing in Trial and Appellate Courts written by Bryan A. Garner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-13 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good legal writing wins court cases. It its first edition, The Winning Brief proved that the key to writing well is understanding the judicial readership. Now, in a revised and updated version of this modern classic, Bryan A. Garner explains the art of effective writing in 100 concise, practical, and easy-to-use sections. Covering everything from the rules for planning and organizing a brief to openers that can capture a judge's attention from the first few words, these tips add up to the most compelling, orderly, and visually appealing brief that an advocate can present. In Garner's view, good writing is good thinking put to paper. "Never write a sentence that you couldn't easily speak," he warns-and demonstrates how to do just that. Beginning each tip with a set of quotable quotes from experts, he then gives masterly advice on building sound paragraphs, drafting crisp sentences, choosing the best words ("Strike pursuant to from your vocabulary."), quoting authority, citing sources, and designing a document that looks as impressive as it reads. Throughout, he shows how to edit for maximal impact, using vivid before-and-after examples that apply the basics of rhetoric to persuasive writing. Filled with examples of good and bad writing from actual briefs filed in courts of all types, The Winning Brief also covers the new appellate rules for preparing federal briefs. Constantly collecting material from his seminars and polling judges for their preferences, the second edition delivers the same solid guidelines with even more supporting evidence. Including for the first time sections on the ever-changing rules of acceptable legal writing, Garner's new edition keeps even the most seasoned lawyers on their toes and writing briefs that win cases. An invaluable resource for attorneys, law clerks, judges, paralegals, law students and their teachers, The Winning Brief has the qualities that make all of Garner's books so popular: authority, accessibility, and page after page of techniques that work. If you're writing to win a case, this book shouldn't merely be on your shelf--it should be open on your desk.
