Winning Arguments by Jay Heinrichs: one of the best law books for lawyers
Best selling author Jay Heinrichs introduces us in this the book the powerful art of persuasion in order to win arguments. This is not actuallly a law book, since having the knowledge of how to win an argument can be useful in different scenarios of our life, but it is definitely useful and powerful when it is applied in court in order to convince the jury.
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee: a classic law book
This book is probably included in every single list of recommended law books, and there’s only one reason for it: it’s that good. This is the story of Atticus Finch, a local lawyer who will risk his career and his reputation to defend a black man who has been accused unjustly for a terrible crime.
A great book to learn some lessons, and understand the importance of morals and to do the righteous thing despite what others think.
The Rule of Law by Tom Bingham
A book that will bring us a definition of the Rule of the Law and tell us about it’s origins, and history as well as illustrating these expositions with some examples and real cases. This book is actually suitable for everyone, not only lawyers.
Jeremy Hutchinson’s Case Histories by Thomas Grant

The book includes real quotes extracted from the transcripts of the real trials, which makes this law book even more interesting.
Bleak House by Charles Dickens
This book revolves around the court of Chancery which has to determine the inheritance of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, a case that has been open for generations but that now might be finallly closed thanks to a new piece of evidence.
