"A Practical Approach to Effective Litigation is an excellent text for any lawyer, particularly a young lawyer who has just completed their training. The text provides a number of excellent tips to guide the reader through the effective management of litigation...' this is a well-written and practical guide to litigation and certainly a text that I will keep close to my desk. It provides a number of precedents which will be extremely useful to any practitioner and, at only £34.95, it provides excellent value for money. Any commercial or civil litigator should seriously consider purchasing this text." - Russell Kelsall, The Student Law Journal
