Cross-Examination: The Art of Re-Setting the Hook
SPEAKER: Todd Tracy, Dallas

About topic:
Cross-examination is the only opportunity before closing argument that an attorney gets to be the center of attention. So don’t blow it. Cross-examination is much more than proving an expert is biased or prejudiced or that their methodology is flawed. Cross-examination is about re-setting the hook on your case themes, damages, reinforcing your case theories, debunking defense theories, and giving the jury a roadmap about the entire case as told thru a witness that the attorney gets to lead.
