With a view from the bench, KWAA presents a Galantines Day webinar to sharpen your trial skills. Judge Amy Hanley joins us for a dual presentation on two frequently requested trial advocacy topics: Cross Examination and Objections.
Harnessing Your Power on Cross Examination
Our love/hate relationship with cross examination exists because we don’t know where to start. Judge Hanley will teach you how to draft an outline, and give you the starting point for your preparation. She will introduce a basic cross-examination playbook and how to apply it. She will explain how to harness your power on cross, using your own unique style and choosing the best approach for each witness.
Phrases of Persuasion: Making and Responding to Objections
Objections require us to react quickly, respond concisely, and adapt seamlessly amidst witness examinations that already command our full focus. Planning and preparing will help, but persuasion is the key when making and arguing objections. Judge Hanley will shift your perspective, analyzing objections through the court’s lens and providing strategies to help you win objections.
