Description

"Drawing upon his own experiences and upon the brilliant achievements of such noted lawyers as Herbert C. Smyth, Lloyd Paul Stryker, George Z. Medalie, Elihu Root, and Frederic R. Coudert, among others, Francis L. Wellman explains and exemplifies the principles of questioning. He quotes extensively from many memorable cases, utilizing them to illustrate both the manner and matter of cross-examination. He takes up the handling of the perjured witness and the expert, he underscores the importance of sequence, and he offers many insights into the psychology of the witness. He shows how knowing when to elicit information -- and when not to -- are part of the artistry of the advocate"--P. [4] of cover.
