This bundle includes the latest installment in our "Great Trials" series. In this new entry, long-time attorney and professor Billy Newman relates the fascinating details of two of the most fascinating trials in history and uses them to extract practical lessons in good courtroom lawyering for modern-day lawyers. The historic trials discussed are the "trial" of Wild West icons Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, and the trial of one of the accused Lincoln assassination co-conspirators.
Next, learn how to avoid all-too-common errors in the preparation of even the simplest of Wills. These practical lessons are illustrated by glancing through the Wills and probate files of lots of famous people -- including historical figures, as well as more recent celebrities -- including George Washington, Robin Williams, Ben Franklin, Prince, Charles Dickens, Aretha Franklin, Tom Petty, and more!

Professor Newman then provides a thorough discussion of the do's & don'ts of drafting enforceable prenuptial agreements, as illustrated by the marriage and divorce files of nearly two dozen celebrities, including Tom Brady, Beyonce, Mark Zuckerberg, Paul McCartney, Steven Spielberg, and many more!
