Program Description
Giving good direct testimony as an expert is worthless if you cannot hold up under strong cross examination, where your credibility is put to the test in front of jurors. Your ability to respond well under cross depends not primarily on your expert knowledge, but on your understanding of how to play the game of cross so that you can defend your credibility, maintain some control over the exchange, and maintain your emotional composure.
Mr. Michael Kaplan will teach you the fundamentals of playing the game of cross and give you helpful tips and tricks for keeping your cool when the trial heat is on.
