Summary:
"Model Witness Examinations is a gift to young lawyers and to older lawyers who are called in mid- or late career to try cases. The book demonstrates how to offer testimony on direct examination, how to cross-examine and impeach various types of witnesses, and how to use discovery in the examination of witnesses. Sandler and Archibald not only illustrate model examinations, they also offer citations to rules and cases that can be relied upon by an advocate preparing an examination on an important point. Paul Mark Sandler and James K. Archibald are confident, experienced, talented lawyers who take time from busy trial schedules and demanding practices to offer young lawyers the wisdom they have learned from years of trying cases"-- Provided by publisher.
