Two Quick & Easy Cross-Examination Tips

[@victoriac.attorneyatlaw]

I use this technique and it completely changes the dynamic in cross-ex

[@SnanSlover]

Great tip here: When in doubt, Press start and save. If you get it wrong, just turn off your DS and load it back up again and also remember that Owning the same nail polish does not a murderer make.

[@ciupanezubogdanel]

I love you

[@mrslovvet]

I came here to learn real useful tips for my law school course but also I appreciate a reference to my favourite game ever omg

[@jwhome9319]

as someone who has been cross examined many times, this guy is right on. these tips will control the testimony as best that he can...but....he will still be stuck with the facts!!

[@BlueOriginAire]

People buy emotions over facts. That’s just human nature. These guys bank on emotions. It’s all theater until the punitive damages are read.

[@kkagarwallove]

I am a lawyer in India and I like very much this tips give for getting master of cross examination to witness. Good Work. Thank You ! KK Agarwal From India.

[@bleedinghearts4768]

If a lawyer has to watch a KZbin video on how to be a lawyer, I wouldn't pay them

[@casey321b]

I love cross examination! I was doing it this morning and told my friend about it. "Hey, I was doing some cross examination stuff this morning!" "Cool! What did you get?" "Well I was doing it with a colleague. I said: 'Yup, I'm pretty sure this is a cross. It has some scratches in it though..." Wonderful stuff those crosses are...

[@hughforik]

We need MORE videos from you. Your material and presentation are very good quality. Please post more.

[@MSF_Soldier_Alligator]

My top two tips: 1. Check the Court Record to find the evidence you need. 2. Object to any section of the testimony that does not match with the evidence.

[@chronousnemesis]

Actually 5 tips: 1) every question is a leading question 2) One fact per question 3) do not use adverb (really?,overly?,slightly?). it gives witness to object 4) don't use perception (you saw him doing...,you see it...) 5) taglines(correct?,is that right?,am I right?) shouldn't be used often because it can cause harm to your leading question. If you remove the tagline, your cross-XM will be more powerful. But this contradicts tip no. 2. Thus it depends on how your case is.

[@blehitgamer]

Protip: slam desk for added effect before every question. Also, make sure to yell HOLD IT! before you press a statement (you should press every single one regardless of relevance) and TAKE THAT! every time you present evidence.

[@kiraparrish8059]

As a professional I can confirm the validity of this technique and its effectiveness

[@Inspireflyer]

You forgot, when you get witness cornered in their lies, CUE THEME SONG.

[@atbundros]

Nicely done. You're a great lawyer. Great information and awesome advice. Thank you.

[@GracieAckerman]

I am a total novice and I figured that out myself by just common sense. I wrote my cross examination on these exact principles because you want no room for the witness to take control

[@ShortstackAfficianado]

When do we yell HOLD IT?

[@aqualitymagentachickenmask3298]

TAKE THAT!

[@tam4ourconstitution392]

I really wish you had more videos

[@ianbrannan8841]

Very helpful with my cross. Thanks a bunch!

[@rajendransanthanakrishnan8018]

All time tested valuable tips.

[@jugjiwanseewooruttun7198]

Clear explanation. You are a great lawyer. Thank you.

[@EPiiCx5587]

I wonder if this guy has looked at the comments section at all and got confused as all hell due to all of the Ace Attorney references.

[@UdgeyAndrewsAO]

>Two Quick & Easy Cross-Examination Tips Ace Attorney references will be in the comments. *looks* Thought so.

[@davidazinger5639]

Excellent tips. Excellent ! Thank you.

[@LonkiDonki]

When do we get to cross examine a parrot?

[@fritzelheineken]

lol

[@drakearmstrong2078]

I see what you did there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@Rajaidreesaziz]

I agree with you ❤ Thank you for guidance

[@MusikalGod]

Awesome video, helps a bunch

[@TheSkepticalCynic]

Never ask a question for which you don't already know the answer.

[@JustinTymeToday]

I also hate it when lawyers make leading questions by just added "isn't it" to the end of a sentence. it is so very confusing. For example, You didn't go to the store, isn't that true? You did not go to the store is not that true. If the witness says yes, are they saying they went to the store or they didn't go? Double negatives are so very complicated to understand, especially when the lawyer uses them wrongly and fails to understand two negatives are a positive.

[@coimbralaw]

Sounds to me like you’re consumed with envy for people who have a higher education than you do.

[@lisamars6941]

This is a Fabulous Video! I read Gerry Spence's book and leading is essential to cross examination.

[@nogohoho]

It's got to be hard to be intimidating in court with just a torso.

[@natanyofsho]

His head is so shiny because of the light that I thought he was wearing a yamaka

[@Dani-ef3cf]

👍Lol 😂

[@ashleyburleson2809]

Thanks, Elliot! My only complaint is that you only have 4 videos. I need to watch more. Mr. Ashley Burleson

[@BowieFan88]

@yinyangbalance On direct, you will get an objection if you ask a leading question, but not on cross

[@Tricey---]

I'm going to court as a attorney in 4 days. The problem? I'm 13

[@romeolincolneiaseb1498]

😂😂 hilarious good luck! But now you are 22 you are probably already admitted as practicing Attorney.

[@casey321b]

@Dashbarr It doesn't have to be a lawyer. The general public has to also do some effort, and this helps them be able to work with their lawyer and not screw up...

[@Inspireflyer]

Bring a spirit medium. That should help...

[@attorneyservices6649]

Good video - good tips.

[@HungryGibran]

I'm doing a Defense cross examination on Jordan Bright today its the mock trial and I'm really nervous

[@beefstrew]

OBJECTION That statement is... objectionable!

[@CompellingThoughts]

please provide video on 'how to defend the testimony of an eye witness and the witness of facts' ?

[@trialstud]

How do i make leading questions covert, so i would avoid the restriction on asking leading questions that we got in our procedural rules? :)

[@barrycochrane1883]

Great video. Straight to the point and I am going to court very soon. Thanks

[@d3Str0Y3r961]

This may sound like a stupid question, but what happens when the person you're cross examinating says no and denies what you've just said ? Thanks.

[@shrishrisuryanarayan]

Every question should be leading question. One new fact per question.

[@bensonnyaga2027]

2019 and the info is still very relevant and helpful. Thank you

[@casey321b]

So, you're saying you'd trust someone to help you not go to jail, and just do all the work? It might help if you knew some of this stuff before hand, so you would be able to help...

[@gatesmw50]

AT 6:24 one new fact per question. Kind of what Irving Younger has said.

[@Beedee2023]

@casey321b What? What are you referring to? Why would the general public need to know about cross-ex tips if they aren't on trial? Do some effort? Its the lawyer's job to tell their clients (not the general public) what to do on the stand, not how to ask questions.

[@ApologiaTV]

This is a leading question, right?

[@Beedee2023]

@casey321b The lawyer is the one who is the professional. Trying to tell someone who is an expert how to do something is interference. Do you want to piss off the person trying to keep you out of jail, or even worse, hinder them?

[@kirked007]

Very good advice here. But do remember that jurors can become weary of hearing 'isn't that correct' at the end of every question. It is important to lead but don't do it too often in succession. Jurors are not stupid. Boring them is a cardinal sin and they will not thank or forgive you for making them bored. Human beings cannot help liking and silk king certain people. You want them to like you but you must not ingratiate yourself with them. If you appear thoughtful, professional, understanding and aware they have a difficult job you can get them on your side. For example. You represent someone injured in a car accident. You do not want your client to seem like a money grabbing (not really hurt) pedestrian. Make it individual. Help them understand that your client had no choice but to sue if he was to afford the medical care he needs, or opes to help others be safe, was hard working, decent, law abiding citizen (like the jurors) now has difficulty working etc etc. never lie but always aim to show your client in a good light. I base this on 20 years in court with plenty of victories (also plenty of losses). Another good tip, remember you will not win every case but should not allow losses to discourage you. Always review cases you lost and see if you can pinpoint where the case was lost. YOu may have done a great job and lost because one of your witnesses did not perform well. If so don't beat yourself up. Just resolve to ensure in your next case you gve that extra attention to your witnesses. Be sure you know what their evidence will be and their limits. Good luck.

[@lisamars6941]

LMAO! If you're an attorney, I'm the Queen of England

[@lisamars6941]

Because it'so unbelievable. I assume you believe I'm the Queen of England. Why is it so unbelievable that I'm not the Queen of England?

[@lisamars6941]

It's easier to believe that I'm the Queen of England. Now scratch my ass and hit the road!

[@lisamars6941]

I don't believe he's an attorney, period. You don't like that, hit the road. You believe he's an attorney good for you. But you will no hear me ask you "why you believe he's an attorney" because frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

[@lisamars6941]

The sky is blue needs no explanation. Now hit the road.

[@mralien6002]

HOW DO I BUY THIS BOOK MAN!!

[@CN-kf1me]

Great video

[@JiveDadson]

After watching the first six and a half minutes, there's one thing I would like cleared up: Should every question be a leading question?

[@pound4pound380]

In my opinion it really doesn't matter if your asking me a leading question with the hopes of me giving you a yes or no answer, the witness, defendant or plaintiff still can give you a explanation and make it more detailed. That tactic would never work on me at all.

[@KristophGavinSolitaryCell13]

Once you got the witness on the verge of breaking down in real court and the Judge is slamming his gavel trying to get you to push off, start to play epic music "cornered" Is prefered and slam your desk a lot.

[@Politicsbd-x4k]

mesmerizing tips for cross ,,,,

[@pipecanon]

you are phoenix wright, right?

[@reservedhogs4735]

You: You were at KFC last night, right? Witness: No, I wasn't. What leading question can you ask to find out where he was?

[@danstermeister]

+Laurence Jackson Short answer to your question: you can't. But that's just because you can't stop someone from lying, regardless of the publicly acknowledged contradictory facts. But you see what you did there with the answer? It was short, not an opening for the deposed to give a long or damaging answer. And's the effectiveness of a leading question: it allows them to only stick along the line of thought you want, not the line of thought they may want.

[@87licorice]

Easy tip...become very aggressive, start shouting what the fuck, then proceed to ask in an exasperated voice where were you.

[@sharonli8749]

Thom S. Hunterson But you were nearby the KFC last night, correct?

[@sanjeevkmaurya-d2653]

Were you at your house last night. No. Were you at a eatery last night ? Yes. The name of that eatery ? ______ Your answer

[@udontkno694]

won't you get objected if you ask leading questions...?

[@winterfae5403]

Thankyou very helpful

[@Jeiss_V]

I doing Mock Trail and i thought you can't do leading questions?

[@scovelme]

You can in cross, not in direct

[@jasonpuppet7803]

this assumes that the outcome of any court proceeding actually matters

[@mridulthakur7094]

Thank you sir

[@BaronPAWNCH]

Since this was released so many PW refrences. Remember if you don't know just scream HOLD IT to every statement made.

[@Spade_Radio]

When in doubt, present your attorney badge.

[@HibHab69]

Tip 9: Point your index finger (filled to the brim with justice) whenever you find a contradiction. Sometimes you might want to point your finger at the prosecutor in order to get a point across. Do it. Point being, spam point.

[@casey321b]

Tru faqs. You're obviously a good cross examiner... XD I can't argue with that.

[@Theladywiththeblackdress]

If you fail at an object the judge will penalize you. OBJECTION OVERRULED Also if the judge is about to give a guilt figure just say HOLD IT

[@Randomgamemaster1]

7:11 *holds up two fingers* "One, new, fact per question."

[@gurmukh74]

Thank you sir.

[@diassiri]

thank you, fine work

[@orlandocriminalteam]

Nothing can be worse than for an attorney to blindside his or her self in court. As presented in this video, when the leading questions turn to a witness explanation, Murphy's Law can come into play all too quickly.

[@Alyssa_Swift]

That feel when everything's Ace Attorney. I mean, the game's manual says that it isn't supposed to be like a real court...

[@asifkamoka1120]

1 leading question 2 every question about new fact

[@charlieabbot3649]

good stuff!

[@prithisingh7575]

veryinteresting

[@ayodejiabiodunkabir5105]

Great!

[@BarristerMamun]

Simply the best,

[@andretatontos]

And here i thought it's "Press every statement from the witness"

[@reilim859]

thank u!

[@Mr.AandDoctorMario360]

And "Hold It!" and "TAKE THAT!"

[@marquezrobinson7492]

I got this I played ace attorney before my court date

[@lorenzodossantos1111]

Never ever let the person on the stand say anything other than yes or no. If you do, you lose. IF they have control of that narrative you will be left backtracking right into losing your case. I am not a lawyer but i should have been

[@Hedgehog_Ninja]

Tip 7: If you do ask the clown, you will get penalized. Tip 8: If the prosecutor tries to object, object back.

[@falongrey4]

Two easy and simple tips eh? Then why does the video last for 10 minutes and 3 seconds.

[@falongrey4]

I may be an ace attorney fan but I'm afraid that they're not valid court phrases

[@mentosC4]

This week in hda is the most confusing aahh

[@QuesoSlam]

Seriously man, you should have planned out what you were going to say before you jumped in front of a camera and decided you could wing it. Other than the fact that this video could have been 3 minutes shorter, good video.

[@kandemJV]

It's funny how I felt that someone would write a comment about Ace Attorney when I saw the thumbail.

[@zealus1]

OBJECTION!

[@rahuladvnehra6509]

I am practicing in criminal ,I always destroy prosecution witnesses by leading cross and I am always success in it

[@irsalanibrar3550]

Rahul Nehra what thing is very important in criminal case ??? As a defence lawyer...

[@ChillStreamsLive]

Who else got here from a Phoenix Wright video? Also, when you cross examine, remember to shout "OBJECTION" while pointing menacingly at the witness and prosecution for dramatic effect.

[@tspots03]

Just play Pheonix Wright XD

[@trialstud]

This is just what a doctor ordered!

[@Beedee2023]

LOL. OMFG. If a real lawyer doesn't know these tips, I'm surprised they've made it far enough to need to worry about it.

I have a cross examination tomorrow trying to prove that Creon is guilty of Antigone's death via 2nd degree manslaughter lol my mock trial is better than yours

[@DeansVideoClips]

Do you care if the witness is innocent? If your guy is an evil asshole? Do you just fight for him because of money? Do you have a sense of justice? Is winning more important than fairness?

[@thebigmalkowski]

Good advice but your explanation is too long-winded.
