The Science and Technique of Cross Examination

This workshop will focus on the science and technique of cross examination of defense corporate representatives and using their testimony to frame your case and expose the weaknesses of the defense.It will involve how to handle affirmative defense questions, denials to requests for admission, and accusations by the defense doctors of either malingering or inconsistent behavior by your Plaintiff. We will also specifically address how to prove constructive notice through a corporate representation in a premises liability case. The methodology will include use of the pleadings, discovery responses, expert reports, polarization of the case and themes. Participants must bring their own case where they have a corporate designee deposition approaching or have taken a corporate deposition and are wondering the best way to use it. Everyone will be getting on their feet and practicing these tools.
