“Pozner on Cross: The Chapter Method of Cross-Examination” is a unique seminar, walking participants through efficient preparation and powerful delivery of cross-examinations. Groundbreaking in its approach, this seminar applies the sciences of behavioral economics and cognitive neuroscience to the formation of cross-examination chapters that motivate early decision-making by jurors.
Learn how to capture the minds of jurors even before the first witness is called, how to prepare for instant and powerful impeachments, and how to structure questioning sequences that control the deceptive witness.
Somebody you know has already attended one of Larry Pozner’s programs. Ask them and find out why this is the seminar that has changed how American trial lawyers prepare and deliver cross-examinations that win cases.
This is one program that you will want to attend in person. Space is limited to 45 attendees at our Bobzien-Gaither Education Center in Richmond/Innsbrook. Register today and reserve your seat!
If you can’t join us in person, you can attend the full seminar virtually via live-interactive webcast or telephone and still be able to ask questions of Mr. Pozner.
Praise from attendees at last year’s seminar:
“Larry Pozner is masterful.”
“Exceptionally valuable for every lawyer (even non-litigators) since eliciting information is at the core of what we do! Absolutely fascinating!”

Larry Pozner, LS Pozner, PLLC / Denver, CO
Rarely can we say that someone “wrote the book” on a subject. Even more unusual is a book that changes a profession. For Larry Pozner and his seminar, “Chapter Method Cross,” both are true. Larry Pozner has long been recognized as America’s authority on modern cross-examination. Pozner’s book Cross-Examination: Science and Techniques (Lexis 3rd edition 2018, Pozner and Dodd) and his resulting seminar “Pozner on Cross: The Chapter Method” revolutionized our profession’s view of the purposes and methods of modern cross.
“Pozner on Cross: The Chapter Method” is a unique and highly entertaining program that teaches the most effective method to draft and deliver winning cross-examinations. For more than 25 years, this ever-evolving seminar has been America’s best-attended trial techniques program. “Pozner on Cross: The Chapter Method” applies principles of neuroscience and behavioral psychology in support of the advanced techniques of cross. The seminar includes a great many examples of step-by-step techniques to write and deliver powerful cross-examinations.
Mr. Pozner is a lecturer, trial consultant, and solo practitioner. He is a former Colorado public defender and Past President of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He has long been recognized in Best Lawyers in America in civil “Bet the Company” litigation and in Criminal Law—both white collar and non–white collar. For many years, Mr. Pozner represented the Denver Broncos franchise and was part of the trial team that preserved Pat Bowlen’s ownership of the Broncos. He and a team of lawyers recently used these techniques to win and collect a $111-million judgment against a national bank.
