Cross-Examination: Science and Techniques

Cross-Examination: Science and Techniques offers practical advice to trial attorneys. According to the publisher's description:

the authors:

• Demonstrate how opponents' objections can be the springboard for deeper and broader cross-examinations.


• Show how cross-examination can be sequenced to teach the theory of the case in the best way, and to literally expand the rules of admissibility.


• Explain how "loops" (the practice of incorporating and repeating key phrases and terms in successive questions to the witness) are used to rename witnesses and exhibits.


• Describe the use of "double loops" to discredit opposing expert witnesses.

Effective cross-examination is a science with established guidelines, identifiable techniques, and definable methods. Attorneys can learn how to control the outcome with careful preparation, calculated strategy, effective skills, and a disciplined demeanor.
