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.
This FREE CLE is designed to give you practical, real-world techniques to approach cross-examination with confidence. Whether you’re a seasoned litigator or preparing for your first trial, you’ll learn how to ask the right questions, stay in control, and get the answers you want.
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
- How to keep the witness from dodging, rambling, or undermining your case
- What not to do when cross-examining a witness.
