Jerry Summers, my mentor
who gave me my first legal position and trained and guided my
professional development, has once again provided a book that
blends history and law in an insightful and provocative manner.
Jerry’s discussion of dozens of cases – tried, appealed,
and settled in the state
and federal courts – illustrates the practical application
of fundamental legal principles from a trial lawyer’s perspective
and demonstrates the role that patience, tenacity, and courage
play in the practice of law.
• John W. McClarty,
Judge, Tennessee Court of Appeals
In this book, Jerry Summers demonstrates what it means to be
an inspirational lawyer. Using the cases he has won – and
lost – Summers provides a roadmap for lawyers and law students
aspiring to be exceptional advocates and trial lawyers. Summers
illustrates what it means to truly and effectively represent
clients by striving to advocate for justice and explains the
way the law should work – but doesn’t always. It is
a must read for anyone that cares about lawyering to improve
the law and seek true justice.
• Doug Blaze, Dean
Emeritus UT College of Law
Most law students are exposed to law through casebooks that
include exc erpts from appellate decisions. hile valuable at
teaching substantive law, casebooks rarely capture what it really
means to be a lawyer. Hope to Win, Prepare to Appeal introduces
fundamental legal principles through actual cases while highlighting
the human element of the law, the difficult
challenges lawyers face, and the incredible opportunities lawyers
have to impact and change the law. In addition to educating soon-to-be
lawyers about the realities of practicing law, this book reminds
us that a single lawyer who demonstrates boldness, determination,
and resilience can
truly make a difference in the lives of others.

Professor Emeritus, UT College of Law |
