Your Witness
Learn cross-examination skills from the best
In Your Witness, fifty of the nation’s top trial lawyers share the secrets of the most engaging, difficult, and dramatic aspect of their work – cross-examination.
These secrets are revealed through richly told courtroom “war stories” with a point. While the stories contain some interesting bits of Chicago “color” – mobsters, corrupt politicians and businessmen, street gangs, mass murderers, sports figures, Nobel Laureates, and Colonel McCormick of the Tribune – many of the stories occur across the nation, and the book has broad appeal to lawyers and non-lawyers alike.
“The new standard for the art of cross examination.”
— Bill Kurtis, journalist and presenter
“It’s a rare thing for wizards to reveal how they cast their spells.”
— Scott Turow, author and attorney
“A mandatory read for any lawyer who has the courage to enter a courtroom.”
— Brendan Sullivan, Senior Partner, Williams & Connelly
