About

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.
