In this episode of "The Trial Lawyer's Handbook"
podcast series, litigation attorney Dan
Small explains the importance of maintaining control
during cross-examination by asking short, clear questions. Mr.
Small advises to avoid the temptation to ask witnesses to agree
with characterizations or conclusions and instead to focus on what
the witness saw, heard and did. He also notes an effective approach
is to build a case "brick by brick," presenting a series
of factual questions that lead the jury to draw the desired
conclusion on its own.
