The Art of Cross-Examination

Gelesen von Joanne Turner

(5 Sterne; 10 Bewertungen)

A classic text on cross-examination of witnesses, including many examples of techniques used in celebrated cases by such notable attorneys as Abraham Lincoln and future Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo. Wellman sprinkles the text liberally with background facts and explanations of the cases and just plain gossip about the participants. Useful listening for anyone who occasionally feels the need to dig a bit deeper for the truth in any conversation. - Summary by Joanne Turner (6 hr 40 min)
