ABOUT THE BOOK
Cross-Examination: Science and Techniques has long been considered the gold standard for trial lawyers. This newly revised 4th Edition brings Roger Dodd and Larry Pozner’s proven methods into a single, definitive volume. Written in a practical, conversational style, it provides a complete system for planning and executing powerful cross-examinations — showing attorneys how to control testimony, teach their case theory, and win over the jury.
With over 800 pages of instruction, examples, and strategy, this new edition covers every aspect of cross-examination — from initial case theory and preparation to the last question at trial. Its reorganized structure, user-friendly index, and expanded coverage make it the most comprehensive treatment of cross-examination ever published.
An invaluable tool that gives me great confidence in preparing for a KILLER cross.”
— TFL, Attorney

— LW, Trial Lawyer
“Well-explained, practical advice.
This book is truly the ‘Bible’ of cross-examination to this date.”

“The best arsenal for trial lawyers.
