Mental Health Litigation Training Unit Presents:

Refresh and Hone Your Cross Exam Skills:
Using trial transcripts to demonstrate effective ways to conduct a powerful cross

 In all your cases, you need to conduct strategic and effective cross examination in order to successfully argue why the court should deny the petitioner’s case. What better way to improve your cross skills than to view transcripts of actual cross examinations for what to emulate and what to improve?

Come join us on February 8^th from 1-3pm

2 CLE Credits

•  We will begin in the large group to discuss and review fundamental cross examination technique, theory and strategy. We will demonstrate a problematic cross followed by an improved examination.
•  We will then break out into small groups with MHLD staff as faculty to review transcripts together to identify which cross exams were effective and practice conducting cross exams to make others more effective.

 After the training, you will be able to:

• Explain when & why to use a constructive or destructive cross technique and your theory of the case & witness;
• Identify the Three Rules of Cross;
• Recognize good and bad examples of effective cross examination;
• Demonstrate how to correct the ineffective sample cross examinations with proper cross technique
