Winning at Cross-Examination: A Modern Approach for Depositions and Trials

A PERSUASIVE CROSS-EXAMINATION is the key to winning a case at deposition or trial. In this book and its companion website with videos, the award-winning author explains why the conventional wisdom is wrong and provides modern strategies to handle even the most difficult witnesses. Also, the veil of secrecy is lifted on how master cross-examiners such as Mark Lanier, Tom Girardi, and David Boies win. Through an in-depth analysis of transcripts from their most memorable cross-examinations, you can learn and then easily apply their techniques in your next deposition or trial.

These new techniques are also reinforced by analyzing some of the most memorable successes and failures that have occurred in famous trials such as George Zimmerman, O.J. Simpson and the Proposition 8 civil trial that foreshadowed the Supreme Court’s ruling that same-sex marriages are legal. Everything you need to know to be successful is here. You can also get additional tips by viewing the videos of many of the cross-examinations analyzed in this book at the book’s companion website (www.winningatcross.com).
