| Ralph Adam Fine is also the author of The How-To-Win Trial Manual (rev. 2d ed. Juris 2001), The How-To-Win Appeal Manual (Juris 2000), as well as the annually supplemented Fine's Wisconsin Evidence (Juris). Judge Jack B. Weinstein, original co-author of Weinstein's Federal Evidence, called Fine's Wisconsin Evidence “probably the best single-volume state treatise on the subject that I have seen.” Gregory P. Joseph, former Chair of the Litigation Section of the American Bar Association, praised The How-To-Win Trial Manual as: “A succinct, masterful approach to trying cases.” And Professor James W. McElhaney said that the book will help make lawyers “better advocates.” Noted trial lawyer and author and lecturer on trial advocacy, Tom Riley, says that The How-To-Win Trial Manual is “The best trial book I've seen in my 48-plus years of trial practice.” U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Alex Kozinski calls The How-To-Win Appeal Manual “an excellent compendium of tips on appellate advocacy” and reflected that he wishes “all of my lawyers got a chance to study” it. |

The workshop which you gave was simply excellent and everyone benefited
a great deal from it. I have continued my practice of giving copies of your
book to new associates and sending copies of your book to in house counsel.
I restudy your book before every trial. so that I can get the full benefit
thereof. It also helps me spot the obvious mistakes which the other
side makes.
