In his spare time, trial lawyer Stewart Edelstein, of Bridgeport’s Cohen and Wolf, co-teaches one of the most popular courses at Yale Law School, in advanced trial practice, with Fred Gold, of Shipman & Goodwin.

Now’s he’s written a book published by the American Bar Association titled How to Succeed as a Trial Lawyer. Its three target audiences are law students, lawyers learning the ropes and accomplished trial practitioners. Because most cases resolve short of trial, the book is also a compendium of insightful pointers on how to deal with everything else in a lawyer’s life.
