Larry’s innovative and entertaining program explains how in cross examinations we can use principles of neuroscience and behavioral psychology to win cases. Techniques are explained in a step-by step fashion with examples. Use the Chapter Method to Win! It’s not your strong opening argument. It’s not your skillful direct. It’s not how many of your impassioned objections the judge sustains. It’s not your confident demeanor. It’s not even how you tie your theory of the case together with a dazzling closing statement bow. What wins your trial is your cross. Cross-examination is the single most important element of a trial well-conducted. When you learn to do it right, Larry Pozner says, you accomplish four critical goals: (1) you amp up the witness’s voice to relate each fact of your story to the jury; (2) you break that story down into clear “chapters” – factual building blocks that trigger and channel jury cognitions; (3) you construct logical, semantic links between your opening and closing – links necessary for the jury to resonate with your theory of the case; and (4) you use witness emotion – like anxiety -- to reconstruct fading memories, compel honesty, eliminate distortions, close down paths to irrational outcomes, and empower your jury to reach a clear decision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695ea52a97236671d39b0484/1770131126406-4QLDA6QVBDSPWB0GOD8W/Pozner-Forensic-Experts-store.png Home - Pozner on Cross: Cross-Examination of Forensic Experts Let Larry Pozner teach you how to derail and impeach even the most evasive expert witness in just a matter of minutes.
