The Modern Art of Cross-examination

Résumé du livre

The Modern Art of Cross-Examination offers litigators a structured hands-on, working legal tool ... a field manual for mastery of today's most effective cross-examination methods. Authored by Robert E. Goldman, a giant of contemporary advocacy, this insightful volume provides tactics and strategies to help litigators become better cross-examiners and thereby win more cases. Shunning abstract theory, philosophy and facts, Goldman sensibly illustrates how to use all of the effective means at your disposal - courtroom surroundings, trial participants, tensions and conflicts, points of law and even what judges and juries have read in the newspapers - to earn a telling response in your confrontation with a witness. He pierces the mystiques and shows in gripping detail how to plan, develop and execute a successful cross-examination giving the user step-by-step instructions along the way.
