A REVIEW OF BRAD MELTZER’S “THE MILLIONAIRES”<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \nFindLaw book reviewer and attorney Laura Hodes reviews Brad Meltzer’s latest \nthriller, The Millionaires, which concerns two basically good brothers who \ntake a single step outside the law, stealing money that is there for the \ntaking, and then find themselves on the run.

WHY LAWYERS SHOULD USE CONSULTANTS TO HELP CONVINCE JURIES, NOT TO HELP SELECT THEM:
A REVIEW OF NEIL AND DORIT KRESSEL’S STACK AND SWAY<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \nFindLaw book reviewer and attorney Sam Williamson evaluates Stack and Sway, a \nrecent book on the controversial practice of jury consulting.

Among other points, the authors identify twelve \nfactors which they claim predict whether jury consultants are likely to be \neffective in a given case.\n<\/span>
