+ Check out this link to a law library's list of advocacy publications: A law librarian compiled a bibliography of books and materials on the general subject of Trial Advocacy. The content is limited to titles contained in the library of the Dickinson Law School and is therefore incomplete. Many of these books and materials are outdated and out-of-print; but the bibliography is fairly extensive and well done. It includes sections on general treatises, trial ethics, trial procedure, and trial strategy. At the bottom of the linked page, you will also find links to bibliographies of books and materials on subjects such as pretrial practice, evidence, and trial process, as well as a bibliography of law review articles and periodicals dealing with trial advocacy. There is also a page that will allow you to review titles related to specific areas of practice, e.g., criminal law.
+ NACDL makes some of its archived materials available without attaching $ signs: The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), showing a sign of public spiritedness for the plight of struggling defenders, allows penurious non-members limited access some of its archived magazine articles without extracting coin of the realm. This method worked for me when I last checked it in 2008: go to their search page, type in "criminal" in the subject matter, then chose the drop down menu asking for "all results"; you'll get long list of magazine articles; you may have to cull through the list of fluffy p.r. and chest pounding pieces to find some monographs providing hard information relating to trial practice, but 15%-20% of the articles do have some substance.
+ Amazon has employed a retired prosecutor to compile a lists of books they will sell the would be trial advocate: For rookies, for cross-examiners, etc. Caveat emptor.
+ Here's something for "O.J. case" fans: An incomplete bibliography of trial advocacy books compiled by a non-lawyer fan of the "O.J" murder case in the mid-90's and not updated.
+ This link will be useful to those who defend capital cases: If you are involved in capital defense, you should arrange to receive the Capital Defense Weekly.
+ You can subscribe to law journals devoted to trial practice: Two clinical law journals for practitioners and trial skills teachers are the Journal of Practical and Clinical Law (3X yearly), (517) 371-5140 ext. 4504 and the Clinical Law Review: A Journal of Lawyering and Legal Education (2X yearly), (212) 998-6434.
+ Those interested in psychiatry, psychology, medicine and law may be interested in these publications: Behavioral Sciences and the Law (4x yearly), State University of New York at Buffalo, (716) 645-2770; International Journal of Law and Psychiatry (4X yearly); Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law: Journal of Legal Medicine (4x yearly); Journal of Psychiatry & Law (4X yearly), (201) 569-5332; Law and Human Behavior (6X yearly).
+ Looking for Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews and Periodicals: Law Source is a good bet. Another good source for viewing and downloading of the full text of scholarly papers in law, including criminal law, is the SSRN Network; they have 85,000 papers available; you may view summaries of articles for free and may search by subject or by author. HeinOnLine, a paid subscription service, is another possibility. Finally, here is an Index to the Contents of Law Reviews; it even contains some hyperlinks to full text of some law review articles.
+ Some Financial Relief for Public Defenders & Legal Aid Lawyers: If you are a public defender or a legal aid lawyer with educational debt funded by the federal government, be aware of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 (CCRAA), effective in September of 2007. The CCRAA has provisions for loan forgiveness for public servants after serving 120 months in a public-service job. Here's an article that seeks to explain the application of the Act, provisions of which apply to persons who were already in public service when the Act became effective.
+ Rules and Statutes for Texas Prosecutors and Defenders: Federal Rules of Evidence, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Federal Statutes Re Procedure, Federal Crimes in Title 18 USC, Texas Rules of Evidence (with 2007 changes), Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Texas Penal Code
