SUMMARY:Pozner on Cross: The Chapter Method of Cross Examination
DESCRIPTION:Registration now open! Register here.\nTurn cross into a disciplined\, story- driven presentation using the Chapter Method. \nCross examination is a form of teaching. not an attack on the witness.  Effective  cross-examinations are  not loud\, theatrical\, or risky. They are the product of a  disciplined system of preparation that allows lawyers to use the available facts to construct  clear\, persuasive stories -so that  the factfinder follows our theory of the case and understands the impact of each chapter  as it is presented. The techniques of Chapter Method cross-examination work regardless of the field of practice\, or the level of a lawyer’s experience. \nPozner on Cross: The Chapter Method\, teaches a structured approach that organizes cross examination into short\, fact- based\, story -driven chapters. The method enables lawyers to maintain control of the witness\, secure key admissions\, and present facts with clarity and precision. Designed for use under the stresses of trial\, the course provides practical tools for writing and delivering effective cross examinations with confidence. \nThe seminar is taught by Larry Pozner\,  trial attorney and lead author of Cross Examination: Science and Techniques.  (4th Ed. 2026\, NACDL\, by (Pozner and Dodd. )\,  Pozner’s Red Book: Lessons in Advanced Cross-Examination (2025 NACDL\, by Larry Pozner) and Cross- Examination Skills for Law Students (2000\, Lexis\, by Pozner and Dodd.)  His books and seminars have shaped the profession’s understanding of  the methods and purposes of modern cross-examination.  His lectures have been presented throughout the United States and internationally. \nMore training information\, including the agenda\, may be found here.
