The Five Kinds of Cross-Examination - On Demand CLE
Description
Description
Cross-examination is more than just asking questions; it’s an opportunity to develop your case themes and frames. A purposeful, confident cross-examination not only delivers your trial story, but also leaves a positive impression of you with the jury.
There are at least five different kinds of cross-examination, each involving different skills and benefits. Like different baseball pitches, mixing and combining different techniques can be more effective than repeating any one style.
Join William Barton, Trial Guides author and recent inductee into the Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame, as he teaches you trial-tested techniques for elevating your cross-examination game. This CLE will cover:
- Five kinds of cross-examination (and when to use them)
- Five predispositions judges have toward cross (and why they matter)
- Proper sequencing of constructive cross-examination
- The challenges of storytelling cross
- Criticisms of Irving Younger’s Ten Commandments
- The rule of probability and Barton’s “chaos model”
- James McElhaney’s self-accrediting cross
The delivery and presentation of your cross are just as important (if not more) than the witness’s responses. Learn how to leverage cross-examination to your advantage with this information-packed webinar.
