Mark Curry is a retired trial court judge with more than 34-years of experience in the courtroom. He is the author of the Practical Trial Handbook, a concise and practical treatise on the fundamentals of trial. The handbook covers the nuts and bolts of a generic trial from the motion in limine to the closing argument, and everything in between. The handbook is a good refresher for attorneys preparing for trial and also an excellent learning resource for law students interested in learning the more practical "real-world" aspects of trying a case. The handbook also contains many "trial tips" from the author related to trying a case not typically found in other more formal trial practice guides. The handbook has two editions, one which cites the FRE and other which cites the California Rules of Evidence. The handbook is available at Amazon Books. See the links below.

Thank you for Sharing your knowledge with The people of UA-cam 🪨💫
Great video Judge! 👍🏾
Why do judges and commissioners overlook clear as day perjury in family law?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am a litigant in person with an upcoming trial in the family court. Your video has been very helpful to me in understanding the approach and practical aspects of cross-examination.
Thank you for this.
i am on trial in Melbourne Australia and my matter is in its fourth year, regarding theft of motor vehicles. The prosecution has now claimed they are unable to find or locate the complaint, but still want to proceed. Is this allowed? In Melbourne you are found guilty, until you can prove you are innocent, and this is a 1 in 200 chance
Thank you for your detailed explainations 😀 I've followed the Karen-Read-trial and wondered why the judge didn't allow to explain the cause of the objections. Is that allowed and normal in Massachusetts or only a personal preference? I thought it was confusing for the jurors, not to know why the prosecution or the defense attorney made an objection. Sorry for my bad english, I'm out of school in Germany since 1986 🤷♀️ Hoping for an answer and with best wishes from Frankfurt am Main 😊
❤ Thank you so much Judge Curry for all your excellent videos and easy to read and understand book, which I ordered on Amazon here in Canada, to help me with my pro se divorce trial in a few days.😊 It would be wonderful if you would make more videos because they are so incredibly informative!😊
A judge going out of his way to make an informative video for the purpose of helping shows this guy's true character. The last thing any judge was gonna do in my experiences is to help.
You lost me in the last sentence lol
Thank you 🌺
Thank you
Appreciate your time
Awesome 👏
Amazing Legal Talent dude you are gifted naturally wow.
STOP @ 54.00 I'm not a robot.. I don't just reference the signal. I also reference all the vehicles and try to synchronize with everything in the most optimal manner with respect for safety. I do not drive from a standpoint of liability.. safety first.
It was very refreshing and helpful. One is never too old to learn.
Superior video ❤
Thank you!
I'm not a law student, but it's an extremely informative video. Really appreciate it.
When I plaintiff deposed in chief and was testifying documents the defendant objected to my documents but did not say any reasons for his objections. The judge noted 'objection' to every document without any reason and did not admit the documents as exhibits. Now how can I get the documents exhibited to use them as evidence in trial of civil suit?
Great
How to identify false witness?
I prefer to focus on one style (i.e. criminal defense, restraining orders, domestic violence, etc)... this is great for general info, but more specifics can help put certain strategies with certain defenses.
I'm in a different jurisdiction but these tips were still very helpful. I had my first ever go at cross last week (in a mock trial setting), and the issue I had was that I prepared well enough but I relied too much on questioning on the fly and ended up losing my train of thought.
Thank you! ❤
Merci beaucoup!
Can't afford a lawyer, this helped me a lot to feel more confident, wish me luck and God bless!
as to types of witnesses--don't forget that we also have witnesses from foreign cultures. understanding their cultures can help tremendously.
sometimes lawyers ask questions we don't know the answer to because we know the possible repercussions, but need to try (not so much to lose).
Thank you for this!
This was so great, I would love to see more!!
thank you kindly your honor this has helped clarify objections for me (aspiring lawyer)
The evidence against you will speak for itself. There will be no more brutalization of the victim.
I have a question, my neighbors outdoor parties last for 7 hrs (loud+music) until 2:30am, their noises audible through my residence, we cants sleep. Local ordinance is 85dB (whoever makes this law does not know how loud it sounds like). I want to sue in small claim court. Beside journal and measure noise inside my house. what would you advise me to do and what does a judge want to see as evidence in my case? What quality as good evidence? I can only measure inside my house. When i tried to measure at the property line, my neighbor blocked it. Can i measure on the patio instead so they can’t block it? Thank you so much. I am going to watch all of your videos to learn how to prove my case in court. Will let you know the results…
This was very clear and concise. No doubt I will find that the same applies to your book as well.
I like study court proceedings
learning so much to prepare as a self representative for a fraudulent law suit against me. thank you
good luck
You are the best!!
Definitely very informative. Alot of information to process but much appreciated.
I dont understand why the hell someone would listen to your information and then unlike. I think a bored ass narcissist would dislike if it didn't work in their favor , but you can't make a horse drunk the water. I mean I been battling a local agency that kidnapped my child and sold her while I was forced to be confined from society. Still dealing. I think you're great , I KNOW YOU ARE GREAT AS A PERSON GIVING ADVICE. IM A PERSON WHO IS COMPETENT AND WONT USE ANYTHING AGAINST YOU. ~. SBG ✓%
What would I know though .I'm a single Native American Mother considered indigent, but needs a 2 million dollar attorney because I didn't put my child for adoption. And I won't. By the way. 126 clean UA's compliant , parenting classes , mental health on point, ....but now I'm an illegal immigrant because I refuse to put my baby up for adoption
Thank you, judge Curry. Your videos are very informative and helpful. I listen to them many times and learn new things each time.
Although I'm only 15 I have a massive interest in law and I am starting early with my studies, and this is the most helpful channel I've ever watched
My son was your age when he became interested in law. Today, he is a practicing attorney in Seattle. He found his niche and only practices in federal courts. Keep at it young man!
@@richardwilliams3625 Thank you!
Learn about Irving Younger and Gerry Spence bud.
Can you quote the law ?
THIS WAS GREAAAT!!
Interesting!
Weird a judge would label someone an obstructionist for objecting to what the judge considers to be a minor issue. Would an obstructionist be someone obstructing justice? Isn't that a crime?
I don't think he's labeling, but what he said in the beginning is that what a attorney or judge's opinion is of a defendant has an effect on what an attorney will object to. Now it depends on what state your in how an attorney will defend your case. Some jurisdictions have no money so it's in the court's best interest to find you guilty of the offense to make money
@@Jason-bx1jf If an attorney has been given a letter of rogatory instructing to make specific objections, the attorney is required to do so. A "judge" making a negative opinion of an attorney and calling them an "obstructionist" isn't being fair impartial. Yes, sounds like an "administrative" (commercial) official and not a judicial one.
Great. As a self represented litigant. Thank you.
