Cross-Examining Doctors: A Practical Guide, Second Edition
Our Price: $159.00

By Alan T. Radnor

Doctors are the toughest witnesses to cross-examine – they’re poised and articulate, have tremendous jury appeal, and know more about the relevant medicine than the attorney. This book will level the playing field and help you cross-examine them successfully. You’ll learn how to take a deposition that pins down the doctor’s opinion, makes the doctor’s file and records available, elicits admissions, and does not reveal the framework of the trial cross-examination. You’ll learn how to choose what to cover at the trial, what specific cross-examination techniques to use and when to use them, and how to start strong and finish strong. Plus, you’ll get illustrative excerpts from real trial transcripts.
