CLE seminars focus on skills for cross-examination, and adult GAL
issues
Improve your cross-examination skills at the State Bar CLE
Winning Your Case With Killer Cross-examination
Techniques seminar on June 23 in Waukesha. Attorneys Roger Dodd
and Larry Pozner - two of America's most popular CLE lecturers - present
courtroom-tested techniques and strategies that transcend the type of
litigation at issue. Whether your case is civil, criminal, divorce, or
commercial law, these techniques work.
Learn how to phrase questions to block witness evasions, create
fact-sensitive sequences of questions, psychologically dominate hostile
witnesses, compel admissions on the key points of a cross, and use a
hostile witness's own words to create a devastating
cross-examination.
The live program will be presented on June 23 in Waukesha, 8 a.m. - 4
p.m. The video seminar is scheduled for Aug. 27 at statewide locations.
