Practical cross-examination under a pre-set scenario
This isn’t theory - it’s live work. You’re handed a case that feels real, and the job is yours: build a cross that can stand up in the room. When you present, faculty offer precise, targeted feedback -refining structure and sharpening language so your cross examines with clarity and impact.
By the end, you don’t just know what a winning cross look like - you’ve built one, tested it, and seen what survives the heat. It’s the difference between reading about strategy and living it.
How it works
The scenario: Faculty set a hearing-ready scenario that mirrors real conditions.
The draft: You collaborate in small groups to build your cross.
The test: Key sections are pressure-tested in plenary.
The fix: Faculty deliver surgical edits - what to cut or sharpen - so you see exactly how to make your cross land clean.
