A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of the July 2024 webcast, Precision Impeachment in Cross-Examination: Tailoring Impeachment Strategies for Every Witness.
The art of impeachment stands as a pivotal skill that can direct the tide of your case because impeachment leads to powerful cross-examination of adverse witnesses. This course equips you to identify and present impeachment evidence for a diverse array of witnesses, with insights on the challenges and hazards of examining expert witnesses. You learn how to identify inconsistencies in testimony, and how not to ask the “one question too many” while respecting the boundaries of impeachment set in the Rules of Evidence.
From how to use prior inconsistent statements, to undermining expert opinions without directly confronting an expert’s domain knowledge, you come away ready to face adverse witnesses with confidence and skill.
