Masters of Cross-Examination DVD
Sample the authoritative guidance from Larry Pozner and Roger Dodd in this excerpt from the Masters of Cross-Examination DVD:
Undermining the opponent's case and discrediting the opponent's witnesses have historically been viewed as primary goals of cross-examination. However, counsel can also use cross constructively to control the opponent's witnesses so that the witnesses will advance the attorney's own theory of the case. This technique can be devastatingly effective, yet many attorneys fail to deploy it.
This set gives attorneys the practical tools to unleash the power of constructive cross-examination for better trial outcomes. Four DVDs, containing nine lectures, provide detailed guidance on the authors' signature "Chapter Method" of preparing for cross, as well as proven techniques for controlling witnesses.
