While a polished direct examination should feel like a well-choreographed Broadway play, cross-examination is more akin to being thrust into a boxing ring with a prize fighter, and you find that your dominant hand is tied behind your back.

This session is designed to give you a fighting chance at surviving the blows that a well-prepared cross examination are designed to inflict. It will help you identify the tactics that the cross-examiner might use, and discuss approaches and preparatory tips that allow you to project the appearance of objectivity, maintain your credibility, and give your opinion the best fighting chance of being accepted by the court.
