Said About the 2nd Edition:
"In my opinion, judges as well as barristers are in constant need of instruction that is both authoritative and exhaustive on the many different issues that confront us in our daily effort at rendering justice... On Trial is not only a treasure trove for litigators, it is a gold mine for those called upon to determine whether the advocates have crossed the lines in advancing their client's cause whether the respect to evidence, procedure, or advocacy."
(Justice Gilles Renaud, Ontario Court of Justice)
