Book Review - Legally Speaking: 40 Powerful Presentation Principles Lawyers Need to Know

Posted on September 20, 2006 by David Swanner

David Dempsey’s  Legally Speaking: 40 Powerful Presentation Principles Lawyers Need to Know is in my pantheon of top five favorite law books. David does a great job of breaking down public speaking, how to organize a speech, how to start it, how to end it, how to practice and refine the speech and so much more.

His writing style is short and to the point with a wealth of great quotes from a variety of sources like Mao Tse Tsung, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Winston Churchill and so on. It’s an eclectic collection of quotes that really add to the book. While David has some specific points on opening statements, closing arguments and questioning his book really applies to any public speaker, not just lawyers. I’ve bought 6 copies of this book and have given them out to friends. I can’t recommend this one highly enough.
