New CEB Edition Upholds Legacy of Legendary Trial Lawyer

California Trial Objections, 10th Edition imparts the wisdom of the late
Edwin A. Heafey Jr. along with up-to-date material from a longtime colleague

OAKLAND, CALIF.—Generations of California litigators have turned to California Trial Objections for the authoritative coverage and practical advice provided by its author, legendary trial lawyer and UC Berkeley law professor Edwin A. Heafey, Jr. After his death in 2002, Heafey's colleague Stephen G. Blitch revised and updated the text for California Trial Objections, 10th Edition, now available from Continuing Education of the Bar.

This softbound volume offers concise descriptions of objections and privileges; advice about motions in limine, voir dire, direct examination, and privileges; suggested language for framing an objection or privilege; alternatives to objections; strategic advice; and a laminated checklist of objections. It's an essential resource to have when preparing for trial, taking and opposing depositions, dealing with administrative or other evidentiary hearings, and handling summary judgment motions.

"This book's best use is in trial, at counsel table (and on the bench)," says Blitch, a partner with Reed Smith LLP who was Heafey's student at Boalt Hall School of Law and worked with Heafey for nearly two decades. "It is the fastest way to get the names of key cases, and what they stand for, on every possible objection to evidence offered in California courts."

California Trial Objections, 10th Edition (approximately 750 pages, softcover, 2004, CP-32557, $132) can be purchased online at ceb.com or by calling Customer Service at 1-800-232-3444.
