DAYL Trial Skills Boot Camp

Cross Examinations and Objections

Speakers include Judge Martin Hoffman (68th District Court), Associate Judge Tahira Merritt (Associate Judge), Frank Branson (Law Office of Frank L. Branson), Tex Quesada (Sommerman, McCaffity, Quesada & Geisler), Jennifer Aufricht (Thompson Coe) and Alex Risinger (Bell, Nunnally & Martin). This year’s boot camp will address cross examinations and objections. The program will begin with an expert panel demonstration of cross-examinations.

Following the panel demonstration, attendees will break into small groups at the courthouse where each attendee will cross-examine a prepared witness. Seasoned attorneys and Dallas County judges will observe the cross-examinations and provide feedback to each attorney. Attendees will be provided the subject matter of their cross-examination and details about the witness’s knowledge in advance of the boot camp.
