You’ll learn how to: Identify and address security vulnerabilities in remote work environments Safely integrate AI tools into your legal practice without compromising client data Evaluate technology vendors with confidence—including key questions to ask

July 24: The Art of Cross-Examination: Effective Techniques & Strategies

When done well, cross-examination can expose inconsistencies, weaken opposing testimony, and reinforce your argument. Done poorly, it can backfire tremendously, giving the witness more credibility and ultimately damaging your case.

In this free CLE, board-certified attorney Heather King, a Shareholder at KoonsFuller, will give you cross-examination strategies that you can use immediately. No fluff, no abstract concepts—just real-world tips that work.
‍In this free CLE webinar, you'll learn about:
  • How to plan and structure your questions for maximum impact
