Summary: Much better than I expected (and I was expectiong alot)
Comment: I was expecting to read insightful thoughts about how to win my case. What I didn't expect was to read insightful thoughts about how to enjoy my life and how to improve myself. And all that with a really smooth writing style that you find enjoyable to read for many hours.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Listen and Learn
Comment: Spence gives many useful lessons. Listen to them with, as Spence puts it, your "third ear." Lawyers from all sorts of practice areas should listen and learn about "psychodrama." Listen. Feel your client's predicament. Spence gives new meaning to the teaching of Michael Tigar that "nothing you learned in law school teaches you to listen or to care."
Spence has a fair amount of bombast. His cowboy style fits few people. But that's his point. This CD will help you find your own voice.
As other reviewers have said, Win Your Case falters when Spence attempts to translate his trial lawyer strategies to other contexts. Certainly much of what Spence teaches translates in some ways to the boardroom, city hall, and other places. But Spence's useful examples in Win Your Case focus on trials of personal injury and criminal defense cases. Spence shines most brightly in those areas.

Summary: Win Your Case: How to Present, Persuade, and Prevail--Every Place, Every Time
Comment: Very deep and incisive
Customer Rating:
Summary: listen! It's wonderful
Comment: I listened to the audio book, which is long but wonderful! Once you get through the book you will have learned several very valuable lessons. Mr. Spence provides several approaches for winning your case and learing how to be genuine and convincing. He advocates an emotional and honest investment in your situation and he tells you exactly how to do it. It works, and although many of his cases give court room stories, anyone can apply it to their own life outside the court room. We often interrogate others while being interrogated in life. Check it out!!

Summary: A Book That Transfers Raw Emotion
Comment: Gerry Spence has a rather eloquent way of describing what charisma is: "Charisma is the controlled transfer of raw emotion."
It seems the whole book revolves around his definition of charisma. Once you have raw emotion you could then use tools like visual aids (and the book goes into details of this sort but always reminding the reader to be real) and so forth to transfer raw emotion to someone else (or a jury), in a controlled way.
It is the charisma that helps you present, persuade and prevail every place, every time, as the book's subtitle promises. And the book certainly transfers.
