Achieve better case results through more effective cross 

This unique one-day seminar will teach you a whole new way to try a case — one that integrates cross-examination with every step of the trial process.

Through the use of vivid examples, nationally known trial attorney and expert on cross-examination techniques Roger J. Dodd will show you how to:

• Form questions to achieve control
• Shape jurors perception of the facts
• Use anxiety to compel honesty and make their witness your witness
• And much, much more!

Become a teacher of facts, not a performer 

Dodd will stress that cross-examinations are not about egos or which lawyer looks good, but rather about teaching facts critical to the cross-examiner’s theory. You’ll see how once the emphasis is shifted from the cross-examiner as lawyer to cross-examiner as teacher, the focus becomes conveying understandable presentations that guide the fact finder in real time.

Learn the tools of GREAT cross-examination! 

You'll learn dozens of high-powered techniques and tools, including:

• Confronting the evasive question
• The best structure to prove your facts
• Staying on a roll without objection
• Breaking cases into understandable stories or chapters
• Making hostile witnesses adopt your description
• Methods of controlling the non-responsive witness

Make cross-examination more of a science 

Gain an understanding of how thorough preparation using sound techniques gives you the advantage at trial.
