It is rare that we hear from a speaker who literally wrote the book on cross-examination. It is extraordinary when that book revolutionized how lawyers try their cases. Larry Pozner is that lawyer and his nationally famous program HOW TO WIN TRIALS WITH POWERFUL CROSS-EXAMINATIONS distills the methods set out in his book.
For more than 30 years Pozner has been recognized as America’s authority on the science of cross-examination. His book Cross Examination: Science and Techniques, 3rd edition (Lexis, Pozner and Dodd) is America’s all-time- bestselling book on cross-examination.
His lectures are packed with examples of techniques that can be employed by any trial lawyer regardless of experience or type of trial practice. In this 6-hour seminar, Pozner shares signature techniques well-grounded in current thinking about the neuroscience of decision, memory, and emotion. He trains you on three tactical rules of cross-examination. He explains how leading questions moderate witness behavior on the stand; how simple sentence construction, fact-ordering, and the paintbrush of mental imagery can make a witness malleable; and how simple, logic-based facts can build memorable narrative, channel judge and jury cognition, and drive the engine of inference to your advantage.
Join us for this highly rated seminar that has been presented to audiences in 48 states, throughout Canada, and Brazil. Here’s what attendees have said about this seminar:
