Descrição

“GREATEST LEGAL ENGINE” “Cross-Examination is the greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth. You can do anything with a bayonet except sit on it. A lawyer can do anything with cross-examination if he is skillful enough not to impale his own cause upon it.” John Henry Wigmore
Be polite, courteous, cheerful, breezy and fair. An eviscerating question is more persuasive when delivered in the same tone as dinner table conversation with friends. Control of tone is absolutely necessary in order for you to establish and maintain credibility. The minute you begin to argue or show belligerence, you have lost the argument, and perhaps worse. If you appear worried, angry, cross, the jury concludes you are a loser trying a losing case. Don’t be a loser, be happy.
