CROSS BY CAMERA: Remote Cross-Examination

To litigate in the COVID-19 era, you need more than the traditional cross-examination techniques you’ve always relied on. COVID-19 has dramatically changed the face of litigation... kick-starting a technology shift in the practice of law that has already taken place in almost every other area of society. Zoom, Webex, and other remote platforms are now a regular part of the litigation and pre-litigation process and will remain so, long after the COVID crisis ends. Judges in courts at every level across the U.S., Canada, and the UK have embraced these platforms for remote depositions, mediations, and non-jury trials, saying that remote is so efficient and saves so much in costs that it will be permanent.

Some of what you will learn:

  • The 10 most common errors in remote cross-examination—and their solutions.

  • Develop a different concentration and focus than other cross-examinations.

  • Control your new environment.

  • Recreate your courtroom space in your remote environment.

  • Common technical fails— and their solutions.

  • Audio-only environments.

  • Keys to overcoming remote cross-examination pitfalls.
