Tower Publishing, a growing legal publishing house, has acquired the publishing rights of the venerable Maine Law Book Company. Founded by Harvard Law Professor Peter Murray, the Maine Law Book Company is best known for its practical legal treatises, including Basic Trial Advocacy and Maine Evidence.
After years of teaching trial advocacy at both Harvard Law School and the University of Maine School of Law, Mr. Murray wrote his own trial advocacy guide for law students and young lawyers. Basic Trial Advocacy is now used in trial advocacy and trial practice courses in law schools across the country. Covering everything from opening statements and cross-examination techniques to courtroom conduct and trial lawyer ethics, the work is the culmination of years of experience both teaching and practicing law at the highest levels.
Maine Evidence is the definitive treatise on the Maine Rules of Evidence and the case law interpreting and applying those rules in civil and criminal cases. Included are the text of the rules, Advisory Committee Notes, and comprehensive commentary and analysis. Originally authored by Richard Field and Peter Murray, Maine Evidence is currently in its 6th edition, and can be found in hundreds of law offices across the state.
